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?
