Does anybody Sorry my mistake: 261.144 kbyte = 256 Kibyte = 2 Mibit = 2.097152 Mbit. > 2 Mbit == 256K, too small for a kernel. I thought the LinuxBIOS was parts from of a kernel. What size is needed? It seems that the flash sizes are 1,2 and 4 Mibit, at least for older boards. Have I missed something here?

Do you mean the target for 440BX in freebios version1, freebios/util/config/l440bx-test12.config? Do the latest kernels,e.g. 2.4.25 still have to be patched with the 2.4.13 patch, freebios/src/kernel_patches/linux-2.4.13-l440gx.diff? Is the onboard SCSI and dual CPU supported? _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
