答复: S2885 ht reset multi chain.

You should ask Eric, because I just wrap the code to call scan_ht_chain
several times.

All the info should be removed and do it dynamically, but the problem the
code is in auto.c, and romcc would produce large code. Unless romcc can
produce the small code, I think we can let everything to be done
dynamically.

product using linuxbios

We have launched a product using linuxbios here in Brasil, its a jukebox
for pubs, but we use ogg vorbis and we have developed the entire system
(including a hard disk distribution based in debian and one for the bios
based in busybox). I have been using sis730 motherboards, but they are
pretty scarce in the market right now. We use linuxbios for a faster
boot, for maintenance, in case there is a HD problem, to avoid CMOS
reset problems and because its cool ;)

Have a look at the machine:

strange, being guided by the Sis630 steps (step 2), the
doc mentions that one should patch the kernel tree (??).

I haven't gotten anything working yet. I'm just refering
to the steps mentioned in Sis630 online doc. I'm also
integrating portions of info I get from "configmanual.ps"
To my understanding, I should patch the standard Kernel 
source tree first before I get to configure/build stuff 
mentioned on configmanual.ps file. Please point me to 
some other reference if I'm doing/understanding this
entirely wrong.

A number of people are using the "BIOS Savior" product with success.  See:
http://www.ioss.com.tw/eg/rd1/index.html

Depending on which part you need, you can mail order it from mwave.com,
pcmods.com, or probably a bunch of other places.

I need to mark those files OBSOLETE

you're fine. Our docs really suck. I'm sorry.

Ok Ron, it's nice to know that I can still read :o). 
However, this doesn't answer as to where do I really 
go/start in using/implementing LinuxBIOS. I'm still trying
to read between the lines of whatever doc is available.
To everybody, please don't hesitate to e-mail n00bys like 
me for genric steps that I should follow in order to try out
this project.

Best regards,

Vic

The pcchips 787cl+ is a sis630 mainboard, if that helps.  The config is 
at util/config/pcchips787.config.  This is all v1.  It does not use DOC mem.

nowby question

hello,

I've been watching an reading a lot in this interesting adventure... 

I've been trying to get Linuxbios work first on a SiS530 but through
mailing list, tree docs, and surroundings i didn't find out enough
support on this. So i decide to switch to another board that have been
greatly tested.

I am willing now to make LinuxBios work on a Apollo PLE133 mainboard,
this is a VIA EPIA chipset based motherboard
(http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_mini_itx_spec.jsp?motherboardId=21)
00.0	Host bridge: VIA 0601  (rev5)
01.0	PCI bridge : VIA 8601 
11.0	ISA bridge : VIA 8231
11.1	IDE interf : VT82C586  (rev6)
11.2	USB interf : VT82C586B (rev 1e)
11.3	USB interf : VT82C586B (rev 1e)
11.4	Bridge	   : VIA 8235	(rev10)
11.5 	audio	   : VIA 3058  (rev 40)
12.0	Ethernet   : VIA  3065 (rev51)
1:00.0  VGA Trident: 8500(rev 6a)
on a via C3 CPU working kernel 2.4.18 

I'am looking for a kernel patch for VIA Epia on this kernel but couldn't
find one. Would it mean it needn't a fix ? Also wandering on a "easiest"
way to get my config work : on v1 or in v2 (I got to take care of the
portability with v1-v2 issues?)  Knowing that at the end (of this
adventure:) I will make it boot on a M-DoC 2000... yet firstly I'll burn
a bios chip and boot a IDE HD... step by step :)

RE: More n00by questions...

So, if you want to write an update howto ;-)

let's start over. what's the motherboard and motherboard chipset. 

Sorry, this project is changing so fast it's hard to keep the docs up to 
date.
