work linuxbios with openbios
How to use linuxbios together with openbios? Is there any clear howto doc? What's the main purpose of openbios? What's the main difference between openbios and filo? Now I'm using filo to boot my linux kernel. tks zhu __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: Linux kernel in Rom
>Here is my config file for a kernel version of linuxbios. >opteron_phase1_p4_noapic is a kernel that I ran mkelfImage on. Ok. I will test on this config file. I am trying to make my linux kernel image smaller as I want to embed it with the ROM. Is there anyway you suggest to do this instead of using the menuconfig in RedHat linux. I can only take out options provided in the menu but the sometimes the dependency doesn't work that well. I get compile errors later when make bzImage. gin ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

LinuxBIOS on the Intel 9IGLM motherboard
Hi! I have the motherboard 9IGLM with Intel 845GL chipset. I know that this motherboard is not supported by LinuxBIOS (am I right?) but I ask you: what would be happen, if I would update the flash EPROM with LinuxBIOS? I run on my PC the MS Win2000 and Debian GNU/Linux Woody. And I have one more question: memtest86 v3.1 says: Unexpected Interrupt - Halting Errors: 261 905 Type: Gen_Prot I configured the memtest: Cache Mode: Always On Test Selection: All Tests Address Range: Test All Memory Memory Sizing: BIOS - All If in the configuration the Memory Sizing: BIOS - is not All, then the memtest not reports errors. Is my BIOS then defective or not? -- Thanks, and sorry for my English Paul -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: work linuxbios with openbios
This is a work-in-progress, so there is no documentation. The major issue that needs to be addressed is that there is currently no mechanism for passing the linuxbios discovered device information to openbios. This is on my todo list. Openbios is an implementation of the IEEE-1275 standard for Open Firmware. This provides a standard means for loading an operating system image from a device, as well as a series of callbacks that an operating system can use to perform certain functions, such as writing to an attached display. It is similar to filo in some respects, such as the ability to load images from attached devices, but provides an architecture neutral layer that simplifies the interface between the operating system and the hardware. This means an Open Firmware enabled kernel will run on virtually any platform that provides Open Firmware support, without requiring kernel code that is specific to the platform.

For dual core and lifting apic id, you can not just use apic id as node id. And you have to use Lapicid() & 0xf Or cupid to get it.

PCI Expansion ROM POST committed
Hello, I just committed the VGABIOS support. It works for some ATI and Nvidia card. Currently it will try to POST any PCI card it can find with PCI expansion ROM.

855gme chip set support
Just pulled down freebios2 and found that there is now 855pm and i855pm chips in the northbridge. Is the 855gme supported by any of those chips?? Working on getting a Pentium M board running with linuxbios. Can any one give me a quick status report on the 855gme chipset. -Adam ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
