hi!
after i found out about your cool linuxbios project i wanted to give it a
shot myself. so i've checked your project status page and found some old BX
board very similar to one of the mentioned mobo's there: the gigabyte
GA-6BXS board.
it differs from the GA-6BXC board in having onboard scsi (i don't need
this) and having 4 ram slots instead of 3.
well yes ... and i figured it has a different i/o controller (winbond).
i took the config files for the GA-6BXC for a start, changed the i/o chip
configuration and flashed the eprom. on the serial port i get the "welcome"
message but it hangs very soon doing the ram initialisation. for a second
try i've build a new image with the ramtest code included and this one
tells me that it has "too many errors". the pattern which has been written
to the ram in the first step can't be verified in the second step (not even
once).
after digging a bit in the ram initialisation code i found out that it
seems to be pretty much hard coded for the BX chipset ... no autoconf at
all.
i do have 2 128MB SDRAM sticks (one single sided and one double sided).
what can i do to get it working?
any hints are very much appreciated!
best regards,
