Hello,
This is a patch to enable oostore feature of geode.
Most geode specific code already merged, but it need
a definition of CONFIG_OOSTORE to speedup geode.
in arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cyrix.c:
static void __init set_cx86_reorder(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_OOSTORE
u8 ccr3;
printk(KERN_INFO "Enable Memory access reorder on Cyrix/NSC processor.\n");
ccr3 = getCx86(CX86_CCR3);
setCx86(CX86_CCR3, (ccr3 & 0x0f) | 0x10); /* enable MAPEN */
/* Load/Store Serialize to mem access disable (=reorder it) */
setCx86(CX86_PCR0, getCx86(CX86_PCR0) & ~0x80);
#ifdef CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM
/* set load/store serialize from 1GB to 4GB */
ccr3 |= 0xe0;
#endif
setCx86(CX86_CCR3, ccr3);
#endif
}
To enable this following Kconfig patch might be good.
If user configure for 386 or 586, geode oostore is only disabled.
If configure for geode, an oostore feature is enabled and he/she will get more speed.

The OOSTORE shouldnt be needed according to the natsemi info,
you can just drop the ifdef

Thanks.
This patch does it. And remove CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM because
Geode supports MEM up to 512MB from GX1 datasheet.
Please apply it.

Please help. I have a redhat 7.3 computer accross the country that was
installed using the WORKSTATION option. I desperately need to telnet into
it, but with the new xinetd.d stuff, don't know how. Can ANYBODY tell me how
to get the telnet deamon running on this box so that I can remotely log in?

Hi Joe,
There's probably an admin tool for this, but:
sed /disable/s/no/yes/ /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
However, if it's "accross the country", you probably should be running sshd
instead. : )
HTH!

First of all, if it was installed using the
workstation option, there is no remote
access, period.
That's why I always do a custom install.
If after the fact the appropriate daemons
are installed, be advised that telnet is an
incredibly poor choice, since you type
your password in the clear, and all traffic
to and from the remote host is in the clear,
begging to be snooped.
Please don't enable telnet, but use secure
shell for remote access - ssh clients are
easily and freely available, even for the
win doze pee cee platform (google for
putty.exe) -
