Hello ollie, This is the corrected version. The one I sent before contained an error in the raminit.inc patch and wasn't sent to the list..
However, even without my patch I was getting the following error when I set DISABLE_INTERNAL_DEVICES=1 and try to make: crt0.s:786: Error: Symbol write_lpc_register already defined. As I discovered that was caused by the unneeded write_lpc_register label in the raminit.inc. Thus I modified my patch to remove that line and now everything works fine.

It is undocumented. It's quite funny to hear about undocumented SiS chipset features from a SiS person :))) Anyway, thanks for the hint. That turned out to be a FAQ and the answer can even be found on linuxbios.org/faq :) I thought that with that information it would be nice to have configuration options to enable and disable specific embedded devices, so I wrote a small patch to sis/630/raminit.inc. I hope this will help other people. Please find the patch file attached. I tried the patch and it works. The board boots ok and the per-device disable options work as supposed to. -- Best regards, Spirit mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
