I think if I can keep pace with normal bios development, I can get updated detail info from vendor and our BIOS engineers. Otherwise they may forget some detail info and also some vendors may fail to update their datasheet. Then it may take some time to make Linuxbios work.

I am confused about what the current situation is. All I know for certain is that AMD has not updated their public documentation yet. So it does not appear as if these processors have been released to the public. Long term I wish we had a better way to handle development before the official product launch.

RE: K8 D0 support
The D0 is released last week. And Normal BIOS support it already. Thanks for your great job in raminit.c of K8 and others, and I add several lines to reflect the new mapping of memory bank.

RE: K8 D0 support
Opteron Rev D0 support done. So I need to wait for AMD put the updated Bios porting guide including Opteron Rev D0 info. Only after that, I can commit the patch? Or ask the AMD to review the code?

K8 D0 support
Eric, Are you working on Opteron D0 support? There are some memory initialization changes to support D0... YH ___ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
