Hi Ron, I'm able to build and run LinuxBIOS on EPIA with some treaking on Config.lb. However, it fails to jump to payload(etherboot). I suspect LinuxBIOS is jumping to a wrong location. Is it possible to set ZKERNEL_START in v2? BTW, ROM_SIZE for default setup should be 262144 instead of 512k, since most EPIA doesn't come with 512k flash.
