<div>Hi,</div> <div>We are trying to boot our board with LinuxBIOS.</div> <div> </div> <div>When we are trying to start the processor, It stops after debug message "Jumping to LinuxBIOS".</div> <div> </div> <div>We are using Northbridge/Via/vt8606. It was origninally taken from vt8601.</div> <div> </div> <div>Can anybody pls see the two log and tell why not i am able to go beyound "Jumping to the LinuxBIOS". In the 2nd log, we have also tried to dump north. We have also captured first 70 byte from Serial EEPROM through read_spd mean for SDRAM.</div> <div>I see lots of differences in ouput of lspci and dumpnorth output. Only the first row is matching all other are different.</div> <div> </div> <div>We have the output of command from runnung machine with vendor BIOS: </div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=4># lspci -xxx -s 0:0.0</FONT></SPAN></FONT></div><FONT face=Arial><SPAN

Here lies my problem. VMWare seems to load the<BR>LinuxBIOS rom, but then overwrite the address at 0xFA000 with 8K of<BR>NVRAM data, basically overwriting portions of the LinuxBIOS code.<BR><BR>So what I was wondering, what would be the best approach to reserve<BR>that area of memory to that it does not corrupt any of the LinuxBIOS<BR>code.<BR><BR>Thanks guys.<BR><BR>-- <BR>linuxbios mailing list<BR>linuxbios@linuxbios.org<BR>http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
