re: S2880
Eric, Under 4G RAM linusbios_tables occupy 0x500-0xae0, cmos_util can find option_table even after rebooting. Under 6G RAM linuxbios_tables occupy 0x500-0xaf4, cmos_util can find option_table after power on but can not find it after rebooting. The only difference should be that rebooting don't execute auto.c again. Any advise. Regards Yingahi Lu -- : YhLu : 200386 17:11 : ron minnich : '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; 'Stefan Reinauer'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' : : S2880 Ron, I have verfied that if I disable the XIP... in old config tool, the image produced will make the option table not accessiable after reboot too.

Re: S2880
It seems the Kernel clear 0x0--4k. Of course after itself take the MP TABLE. Maybe need to update the kernel.

The only difference should be that rebooting don't execute auto.c again. I am not really certain what is going on, but it doesn't sound good. Normally I just reset the board and that is probably the right solution. I am still struggling to get the new config tool usable, so I am a bit distracted. We should be rewriting the table even during a reboot. So the fact that this doesn't work indicates there is some kind of problem. What I don't know. I can positively report that I have seen this. If I don't start pushing my reset code into the tree in the next couple of days please bug me. Eric ___ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

I really need a working PIRQ (don't ask) so I'm going to take a stab at generating one from the linuxbios tables, unless somebody else has done/wants to do it. ron ___ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

This uses the 0x0f router code which is a way around linux if it does not know about the router in your north/south bridge. There are comments in the code. That's what I love about this list. Everytime I ask a question it gets answered in a work-saving way. Steve, I'll take a look at your stuff, and thanks.

Re: S2880
In the cmos_util if it can not find linuxbios table from (0--4k) , it will find that from (960k to 1M). Please suggest where we should preserve second copy of linuxbios table.
