Tony, Where did you get the source code?
Via CVS or linuxbios snapshot? The update source code should be compiled no problem under RH 9 for i386. ROM_SECTION_SIZE should be 128K for fallback. If you want to boot local 1. Etherboot: you can build ide_disk.zelf 2. FILO: it can understand file system and kernel + rootfs instead of elf format 3. FILO_IN_Etherboot: I port the FILO into Etherboot and add boot from sata and it can boot from usb disk too.

I saw your name on the LinuxBIOS web site and know you are the owner of Tyan AMD64 motherboard. I'm building the Linux BIOS using your Tyan s2882. The AMD opteron 2 CPUs system for my comany, we are evaluating Tyan s2882 board for a embeded Storage Server. I have some questions maybe you can enlighten me. 1. I get a lot of warning messages from compiler when I build, is that normal? I use Suse Linux 9.1, GCC 3.3.3 2. I only get Fallback BIOS build sucessfully, Normal BIOS will break during the build, is that the way it is? 3. I see your ROM_SECTION_SIZE was set to about 98K, you must have a very small payload and use a flash utilty to program the Flash. I set the ROM_SECTION_SIZE to 512K, but I'm still have trouble to get a Linux Kernel to fit into the Flash. Do you have any recommandation about the payload? if you can send your payload "tg3--ide_disk_com1_2.zelf" to me just for a testing purpose that will be great!
