Guru would be a stretch. I was the one that first used linuxbios on a BX but my system is a bit special. Our custom embedded PC is a robot controller and it lacks the proms used for configuring ram. As a result, my ram init is hard coded to "know" what is there. I expect that the crt0.S you are looking at is a combination of a file obsoleted by newer config mechanisms and it may also reference my hard coded ram init. Because my ram init is hard coded it will only work with systems that _EXACTLY_ match mine. ...and there are enough variables that that is unlikely to be the case. Cheers!
