Hi Ron, Just wanted to report that your suggestion was excellent. I'm now getting serial output saying "Jumping to LinuxBIOS". It took only a few minutes to get this working so I was pleasantly surprised. :-) Thanks!
Ok, I'm now going to read a bit more about x86 booting and figure out what's next and what the memory output means. LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Tue Jan 11 06:22:00 IST 2005 starting... Setting up default parameters for memory Sizing memory Probing for DIMM0 Probing for DIMM1 Found DIMM1 Page Size: 00001000 Component Banks: 4 Module Banks: 2 DIMM size: 08000000 Memory sizing done, MC_BANK_CFG = 0x55200070 Copying LinuxBIOS to ram. Jumping to LinuxBIOS. Thanks all! --- "Ronald G.
