Would it be easier to design this into gcc as a separate architecture or would that be too unmanagable? It may or may not be of benefit to other embedded projects as well so there may be more help keeping it up to date if it was in the gcc tree. Then again, someone could modify it for their ow

I had similar trouble with 2.4.19 on a Tyan E7500 motherboard and RH80. The stock RH 2.4.18 wouldn't work either and none of the pre 2.4.20's I tried would work. I could only get 2.4.18 to run stable. I used the gcc that came with RH80 kernel builds I think, though I've since downgraded to th

I think the problem might be the name of the project. Many BSD users, especially freeBSD, wouldn't get caught dead running anything linux if they can help it. Silly elitist attitude, much like the elitist attitude some linux users take towards windows users. Now if it was still named freeBIO

I was working on trying to get this box to turn on DMA for the drives and we get an error: We used the stock 2.4.18-3smp kernel from redhat 7.3 and also 2.4.19 from source. The motherboard is a dual P4 tyan, I didn't catch the model number. We double checked the DMA settings and enabled an u

I've always thought it would be a good idea to rig up some sort of flash that emulates a floppy for the floppy interface. I dont know if it would be practical or not but it would be an unused device, at least one unit should be free in most computers. Also the drivers for the floppy aren't li

I found 2 devices like you pointed out, I was thinking more of the third way you described. They offer a riser card with 2 slots as an option. What they might have done is what some of the passive backplane systems do which is include extra IDSEL signals in unused PCI pins. How would a card

Is this the new mini micro ATX board with the C3 CPU and the VIA chipset? What kind of support does that have for an LCD screen? I was looking at the VIA site and I couldn't find out if the chipset had any digital video output. One other general question, is it possible to piggyback several
