BPlan told me few mintes ago ....there
will be a new OF 1.1 on the Page next Week ...

Great Peg is growing up ....

no we need Moprh 1.5 , 1.6 ,1.7 , and
a free OS_X Booter into OF ( Joke i know about Eula)

That's certainly good news!

is 1.1 for Peg II only or for Peg I also?

Wonderful news!! :)

That's great news
What new in v1.1?

Yes, it's a really good news.
You should change the topic flag from german to english, 'cause this thread is in english and is usefull to everyone.

is the board going to be 1.1?

please explain what is getting updated

thanksis

Should just be the OF.

whats the OF

open firmware?

i think toto has the scariest avitar

Quote:

OF = open firmware (good guess )

My avitar could be scarier, I'm working on it

this is cool..I like that genesi stays busy!
great

is this update a PEG 2 only one or PEG 2 and PEG 1?
What is new in this update?

@ serge

Firmware is by it's very nature tightly bound to the hardware, in this
case the Pegasos II. The first version of the Peg2 firmware had some
bugs. The perhaps most important things in the update are bugfixes. In
v1.1 you don't have to reset directly after cold-boot to be able to
reach your IDE units, and you can switch CPU cards (between G3 and
G4). It also seems to be possible to boot from network, but I have not
researched this yet (but there are some new variables that you can
read or set through the printenv/setenv commands that CLEARLY suggests
this). Perhaps there are also other things that I have not noticed
much yet. But the "coldboot bug" *alone* definitely called for an
update!

Sweet. No more hitting the reset button on cold boots.

I have OF 1.1 with a peg2 g4 here. I still have to reset after cold boot for the seagate hd here. :(

but other stuff works well..

hope new OF 1.1 fixes ram prob

Quote:

Yes, you are RIGHT!

My "new" Pegasos II (with OF 1.1) was a G3 one, and with the G3 it works fine. I have tried to switch the CPU cards to the G4 from my "old" Peg2, and then I have the cold-boot problem with Seagate! Argh! Seagate drives are NICE and QUIET!

Can you confirm that the Seagate works fine with the G3?

(B-plan should be told about this before they release that firmware upgrade IMO. It should be fairly easy to get the seagates to work. Can you mail them, or should I?)

Perhaps the "cold-boot" problem was more G4 related than it was OF1.0 related ...

This is bad news. I also have a Peg2/G4 + Seagate HDD.

Does anyone know, if it fixes more than 256MB RAM problems under Linux? And AFAIR, Sven Luther said, the DRI problems may cause by an OF bug as well, but i'm not sure about this.

These problems must be ed out very soon. There are a lot of people out here who wants to use 3D acceleration under Linux, on their Pegas... For example, me...

These things take time and are very low level = hard. ATM with 1.1 you can have up to 320mb Ram with mem=blahM in OF..

takemehome: please do write bplan about this
