Dosen't seem to be making it to hardwaremain. So far I've just been going through the code insureing that most things are set up the way I expect them to be setup. Making sure it's not just some simple mis-configuration. I haven't modified any code yet. >I have some techniques you can try.

I ask because I have some NDA Intel documents that describe how to do this and the method used in LB is different. So thats why I asked about the "book." If its the same book that I have then I guess we can talk about it. Otherwise I have to work within the existing code and be very carful with anything I contribute to make sure it was already public somewhere. Your other mail just showed up.... >Richard, what we did in debugging the 430tx was to first figure out how >the normal bios set things, bit for bit. Then, in the .inc for linuxbios, Well... our "Normal" bios is General Softwares Embedded BIOS and I'd hardly call it normal. However, it does boot so I'll do a dump on it and compare. >unimportant. Thanks are due once again to Eric Beiderman for this totally >excellent way of doing .inc files. Yes... Most excellent. Very slick. Many kudos to Eric. >Dumping the northbridge this way allowed us to very quickly converge on a >working configuration. Thanks for the info on ramtest and dumpnorth. That should help quite a bit. I'll go play some more. I have a few other pressing issues though so I might not get to mess with this until next week. -- Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc.
