So you mean We should make the ADLO to understand the linuxbios table like Etherboot and FILO? YH On 08 Mar 2005 23:17:04 -0700, Eric W. Biederman wrote: > yhlu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > 1. LinuxBIOS need to pass the position pirq table to loader.s --- put > > that in CMOS or loader.s

Perhaps it'll help if I'm more specific. It appears some changes have been made to the via/epia tree and the southbridge doesn't seem to be working like it should (or used to). Using a filo payload (that works on a previous version of LinuxBIOS), I now get the following: LinuxBIOS-1.1.7.0Fallbac
