2200 (too many names, sounds like a criminal). 1) Linuxbios loads kernel A; kernel A loads kernel B. Everything works fine. 2) Then I push the reset button. 3) Linuxbios loads kernel A; kernel A loads kernel B. Kernel B complains about wrong checksum of the mptable and crushes later. An investigation showed that in 3), short after kernel A (v2.6.19.2) sets the Bus Master Enable bit of the nVidia's USB1 controller (pci_set_master()), the mptable gets two bytes at physical address 0x80 damaged. Nothing is plugged to the USB ports. Other two Sun workstations had the same behavior. This does not make sense to me unless the controller has a HW bug. I believe, this should better be fixed in the kernel USB driver. For now this patch offers a possibility for linuxbios to reset the USB controller by setting HostControllerReset bit in HcCommandStatus Register. It is enablead by using 'register "usb1_hc_reset"="1"' in 'chip southbridge/nvidia/ck804' section of the mainboard's Config.lb.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
