The file adding the news is named gnuboot-december-2023.md instead of gnuboot-0.1-rc1.md as the later is understood as a translation in the '1-rc1' lang. Renaming the file to gnuboot-0.1-rc1.en.md instead makes untitled detect the lang correctly but then it assumes this is a translation and adds a broken link for "English" on the new page. For now the older Libreboot news were kept as this shows the history of the project and since GNU Boot is a continuation of the Libreboot project it makes sense to also keep them. The CSS also needed to be separated from the template because otherwise the generated news page would be incomplete and miss all what comes before the CSS like '<!DOCTYPE html>' for instance. Finally x-reviewed was changed into x-unreviewed because we can't set x-reviewed for the news, so the only way to remove the banner for the individual news is to default to reviewed (and to mark all unreviewed files as such). As for the Untitled patch it is needed to make the news page work. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> Acked-by: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault <neox@gnu.org>

title: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L desktop board
|
|
x-unreviewed: true
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
This is a desktop board using intel hardware (circa \~2009, ICH7
|
|
southbridge, similar performance-wise to the Libreboot X200. It can make
|
|
for quite a nifty desktop. Powered by libreboot.
|
|
|
|
IDE on the board is untested, but it might be possible to use a SATA HDD
|
|
using an IDE SATA adapter. The SATA ports do work.
|
|
|
|
You need to set a custom MAC address in GNU+Linux for the NIC to work.
|
|
In /etc/network/interfaces on debian-based systems like Debian or
|
|
Devuan, this would be in the entry for your NIC:\
|
|
hwaddress ether macaddressgoeshere
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom extract -n rt8168-macaddress -f rt8168-macaddress
|
|
|
|
Modify the MAC address in the file `rt8168-macaddress` and then:
|
|
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom remove -n rt8168-macaddress
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom add -f rt8168-macaddress -n rt8168-macaddress -t raw
|
|
|
|
Now you have a different MAC address hardcoded. In the above example, the ROM
|
|
image is named `libreboot.rom` for your board. You can find cbfstool
|
|
under `coreboot/default/util/cbfstool/` after running the following command
|
|
in the build system:
|
|
|
|
./build module cbutils
|
|
|
|
You can learn more about using the build system, lbmk, here:\

Kingston 8 GiB Kit KVR800D2N6/8G with Elpida Chips E2108ABSE-8G-E
|
|
|
|
this is a 2x4GB setup and these work quite well, according to a user on IRC.
|
|
|
|
Many other modules will probably work just fine, but raminit is very picky on
|
|
this board.
