Everything works fine, it just gets the wrong data. I put in lots of

Have you tried different CF? Different CF behave differently. Some CF

fixes welcome. This is CF that is failing. Actually it reads the data and
the data is fine, but when it jumps to the payload nothing happens.

Hello,
I'm still not sure what is causing it yet. I know it happens when I
seem to turn on my epia board after it being off for awhile, while

Hello,
So I've got the epia800 working with the original BIOS that was
extracted from the original BIOS. I've been looking over the code that
was submitted, and as well as the difference between register settings
on boot with regular BIOS settings and LinuxBIOS settings. I have b
And HOWTO on these last steps, with sample kernel .config, is most

Unfortunately it does not. Looks like we have to program some more

I tried this tonight and it's working on my EPIA 5000!
Thanks for the great work.
However there is some issue.

we will test and commit if it all works.
I think I'm going to try to get the emulator fixed and long term go with
that, but these fixes are needed for the emulator too.
