(sorry about that. my san.rr.com isp has been deactivated in favor of the Linux based speakeasy.net isp ;-)
(BTW. I can send a beginning hexdump/edit of the bios chip for verification that it is being burned properly. ) I've tried smartcore-p5/ & l440bx/ and on each boot, the 440bx box still acts like it can't find any bios (ie black screen, some minimal drive activity, nothing on ttyS1, etc) >From what has been briefed to me, the DOC MIL chip will mimic a standard flash DIP and doesn't need docipl(?) -- docipl is needed in order to use nftl to install something like a root partition on the chip? I've also tried flashing the builds to a standard DIP 2Mb/256kb flash (even though I know it doesn't fit :-). One thing I will note tho, I do have to use openbios/devbios to burn the standard AMTEL 32pin DIP Flash as for some reason linux mtd will fail to recognize these chips (even after I unshadow flash to the chipset by hacking devbios module to *not* unshadow after being unloaded. I do know that openbios/devbios is flashing properly as I mistakenly flashed my original manuf bios flash chip and then had to re-flash it and then flash another chip for backup incase it failed. Amazingly both chips worked and both had good copies of the manuf. bios on them. ;-) -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
