Compilation Problem (overlaping sections)
I am trying to compile LinuxBios for a custom quad-opteron system. I copied from the amd quartet to create my build environment. The Quartet seems to compile correct, but mine errors out.

How about Tyan s4882 in your compile environment? It should be OK. Please try to set LOG_LEVEL in your MB Config to 7. YH On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 09:06:42 -0700 (MST), Ronald G.

* Dmitriy Budko [EMAIL PROTECTED] [050307 22:28]: Does anybody needs LinuxBIOS for VMware virtual machines? If you want it please describe why do you want it. This sounds very interesting. Having a possibility to test LinuxBIOS+payload in vmware would allow easy and comfortable payload development in projects such as OpenBIOS, filo or etherboot.

Works well with LinuxBIOS v1. AFAIK there is currently no v2 support for SiS boards like the K7SEM. few questions, maybe somebody could answer them to me and give me a helping hand? Is it possible to use a 2.6 kernel? Yes, works here. The kernel patches with v1 are only for 2.4 kernels. They are not neccessary, but perhaps useful, so i ported them to 2.6 a while ago. See here http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2004-July/008446.html Is it possible to use the original bios chip? Try to get a DiskOnChip Millenium (NOT a DoC 2000). Although they are not produced anymore ;-( Does anyone know if the DoC Millenium Plus (has a boot capability) is also sufficient? And how do I configure and build it with these options, if it is possible? There is a K7SEM HOWTO in the sources. The last time i checked the CVS, it was broken for K7SEM.

error snapshots download.
So I downloaded the cvs snapshot referenced from the new wiki. It seems to be a copy of the repository, and not a checkout.(files are .v ) with all sorts of version information.

However its just a elf payload just like anything else so it will load fine. It won't run until you get the shadowing right. I don't remember what the final result of our V2 shadowing discussion was. I seem to remember that we thought we could do an elf location trick that might make the mainboard specific shadowing in ADLO unnecessary. Right. We should simply need to enable the shadow memory in V2. ADLO can take it from there. We can reexamine if we ever find memory that has a problem being read-write. It is weird that ADLO loads in one place and runs in another but that is largely a non-issue. We need the a loader that runs in protected mode. So whatever I was thinking with ELF tricks is something we can ignore. Eric ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

It is more of a time/desire thing. Does vmware accurately simulate what is required to bring memory up or do we get to short cut that. If the latter the porting could be done very quickly. Memory initialization is generally the hard part, of a LinuxBIOS port and would likely be trivial under vmware :) It seems to me that supporting a new SIO chips (the emulated NS PC97338/PC87338) should be easy. Right it should not be a problem there. The case that was discussed recently with vmware was to do things the other way around. The observation was made that for server clusters dedicated to running vmware, running LinuxBIOS underneath could help boot time and cluster management.

I got hung up on getting my dump_spd routine to return somthing else besides zero. Its really wierd. I can actually see the data on the SMbus happening but I don't ever seem to get a result back. Like Eric says if you don't have to to the RAM init then it will probally move really quickly. I haven't had chance to work on it for a while. If your are interested I can whip up a patch vs current cvs and send it to you. It's not in the V2 tree. -- Richard A.

I need to mirror two hard disks over 1000mbit tcp/ip for redundancy.) For the small scale you are looking at, I recommend you look at nbd and the linux md layer, or possibly drbd. I don't believe Lustre does redundancy in software yet. If you need an active/active configuration things are harder. nfs from the primary to the secondary would be my first guess there.
