Greetings, Hrmm, the kernel should be in control by that point. The most likely problems are kernel compiled fro wrong processor type, and not passing console=ttyS0,115200n8 (or whatever speed you're using) to the kernel (using mkelfImage's --command-line switch). G'day, sjames On Thu, 14 N

Greetings, I don't think it's the compression here. I have a working BIOS built from CVS on 11/05/2002. I don't think it matters to this, but I did hack zkernel_start on the fallback image to be fff0 and modify the linker script to hard code the primary image at fffe - 8. I can look at it

I'll try to look at this but my time is consumed with SC 2002, so it will have to wait until later next week. It does seem that the compressed bios stuff has made linuxbios very unstable at the moment. You could try disabling it -- it worked for Andrew Ip. See the earlier note. I don't want
