Hi list. I've been trying to get LinuxBIOS going on my EPIA-MII 12000 system. I've read numerous messages on the ML and Googling for answers. Still I can't get my system to boot properly.
Following the HOWTO I've managed to create a linuxbios.rom that actually boots, starts the payload ( filo ) but then I don't get the kernel to load. I'm using LinuxBIOS snapshot as of 24th of May and Filo 0.5. The VGA-rom is extracted with: dd if=/dev/mem of=/video.bios.bin bs=65536 count=1 skip=12 My root is /dev/hdb1 and I've put my ( working ) kernel at /vmlinuz. ( It's a stock Fedora 5 kernel, 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5. ) When I use USE_GRUB = 1 and put a copy of my menu.lst in /boot/filo/menu.lst, I only get a grub prompt and when trying to manually load the kernel with: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 boot It complains about unknown filetype, IIRC. I've also tried using: AUTOBOOT_FILE = "hdb1:/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" With this I get the LinuxBIOS to constantly restart. My actual question is therefore If there is anyone with a working setup that could please give me some help? -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
