* Dan Sully <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> shaped the electrons to say... Thanks, that did the trick. So I'm able to boot v1, but haven't been able to get vgabios working. Replying to my own email here - I now have VGA working using an NVidia card. I can't do much though, given the ram constraints of V1. I've tried V2, but it just hangs when rebooted with no console or serial output. What's the current status of EPIA-M in V2 with VGA? So this question still stands. =) -D -- It's Dr. Evil, I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much. ___ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

Dan, the LinuxBIOS project can use a good explanation if you find time
to write one.
Once I get everything working (and get back from Burning Man), I will.

i made a small change to fix this. please go ahead and test it.
Thanks, that did the trick.
So I'm able to boot v1, but haven't been able to get vgabios working.
I've extracted it using the following command:
dd if=/proc/kcore of=vgabios.bin bs=1 count=65536 skip=790528
What's the current status of EPIA-M in V2 with VGA? Also - can someone clear
up in my head - is vgabios needed just for using the onboard CLE266 video? I
actually have either an NVidia or ATI card I'd prefer to use.
Thanks.
Here's my v1 config (based off of Dmitri's) - can someone please double check it?

EPIA-M build problem for freebios2
