Re: [Etherboot-developers] New SIS900 with SIS630E issue!

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

|The chipset sis630e built-in a different sis900 with the standalone
|sis900 ethernet chip. The driver from linux 2.2 will not work with it,
|only the new linux 2.4.x sis900 driver works with the sis630e . This
|also leads to the etherboot sis900 driver that Marty wrote's which is
|based on the linux 2.2 driver.  I haven't go through the driver souce
|yet, but I guess the eeprom is a little different from the standalone
|sis900 chip. If anyone is interested to find out please go ahead! I
|think we only need a slight modification with comparison with the
|difference of the linux 2.2 driver and the linux 2.4 driver and apply
|those changes to the etherboot driver. The new driver is backward
|compatible, so it is OK. The sis630e chip is also known as "GFXcel 133"

What Etherboot version did you try? Always mention the version you are
using. Some changes were introduced in 4.7.22:

+ Peter Kögel contributed patches to the SiS900 driver to make it work
for the SiS640e/SiS730s.

If you haven't tried this let us know if 4.7.24 works for the 630s.
