Hi,
I am looking into building a personal workstation around the Tyan S2915
or the Tyan S2927 for LinuxBIOS hacking.
I have been following the mailing list since January when Yinghai Lu
posted a huge patch with support for the Tyan S2912, among other boards.
From Tyan's webpage it seems that the
Hi,
I am looking for a Socket F motherboard that is compatible with LinuxBIOS.
The MSI K9SD Master-S2R (MS-9185) seems to be the only one that fits the
bill. A couple of questions:
1. Where can I find datasheets for the chipset on this motherboard
(Broadcom BCM5785, Broadcom BCM5780)?
2. What is
Hi Carl-Daniel,
Yep, the GART is one way to go. On the other hand, there are PCI-Express
systems that do not have a GART. The whole thing is a bit of a mess, which
is why I didn't expand on it.
Cheers,
Arvind

Thanks for the clarification! The way SMI is handled in LinuxBIOS suits my
purpose very well. I am working on a project called Pioneer, whose goal is
to prevent any malware present on a computer from tampering with code
execution (details can be found

Hi,
I would like to implement a piece of code as an SMM handler in LinuxBIOS.
From what I understand of LinuxBIOS, there is no SMM handler at present
but the SMM registers on the AMD K8 platform are locked using the SMMLOCK
bit. How does the platform then handle SMI when using LinuxBIOS? I would
