m758lmr+ motherboard

2002-11-01 Thread James Alton
Hello, I'm using the pcchips m758lmr+ motherboard. I have browsed through the CVS code, and I see that it loads up support for the SiS630s chipset. Also, on the board though, there is a IT8705F (from ITE) which acts as a superio and thermal/voltage stats. (The IT8705F has some of the simple funct

Whoops. Please disregard the last message I sent about the ITE IT8705F. I just realized the SiS950 is the same thing and it is right there in the CVS. - James Alton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermati

About that last email I sent regarding the IT8705F and the SiS950, someone should add a directory freebios/src/superio/ITE/it8705f with a README explaining that the chipset is supported by freebios/src/superio/sis/950 (They are an identical chip, the SiS950 is actually a IT8705F clone.) This woul

e7500 flash

2002-11-01 Thread Andrew Ip
I have a e7500 with 82801CA. Before running the lastest flash_rom, I run 'setpci -d 8086:2480 4e.b=1' to enable bios write. Although flash_rom sees the flash, it fails to erase. Any idea? Or is there other way to flash it? -Andrew -- Andrew Ip Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:(852)

Greetings, Which board are you using? The setpci enebles writes in the chipset, but the 82801ca has erase/write protect pins as well that are usually wired to a GPIO line from the superio or to a jumper. G'day, sjames On Fri, 1 Nov 2002, Andrew Ip wrote: > > I have a e7500 with 82801

4MB (as in bytes, not bits ;-)) If you are using an off the shelf motherboard, it is unlikely all of these address bits are pulled out to a socket. On Friday 01 November 2002 04:19, Yves Godin wrote: > Hi, > Can anyone tell me what is the maximum flash size supported by the vt8231 > ? > >

If you tried to send me mail and it bounced, try again. I've hit a snag with 2.4.19 and the natsemi chip on the geode cards. It looks like a bug in 2.4.19 to me. The scenario is this: PCM 5823-A2, using linuxbios and etherboot. I etherboot 2.4.17, and get this at PCI config Linux version 2.4
