Did you use export LANG=en_US before make bin/tg3--filo.zelf? Or I could send one tg3_filo.zelf to you?

Run ``readelf -h -l'' on the problem image to see what the values are before it is combined into LinuxBIOS. I suspect you have a build problem, possible a messed up version of perl installed.

That's why I thought that elfboot couldn't read .zelf, because the image sizes are incorrect. Actual image size for the tg3--filo.zelf image is 43,153 bytes, which is smaller than the file.elf image 43,472 bytes. But when I make a linuxbios.rom with the tg3--filo.zelf as the payload, elfboot generates the output I sent you. -J -----Original Message----- From: Eric W.

It separates images that are self extracting from those images that are not compressed at all. Eric

What do you want? Boot from SATA disk? If so, it is already solved. Option rom does two things 1. Init Controller to fix bugs in chip design or HW design. 2. boot disk…. I have make the FILO can boot from SATA disk. After I make boot from USB disk, I will update the patch to FILO in Etherboot.

答复: Lbcc tool

I wonder what is your develop configuration. For me there is Dev server: compile linuxbios + dhcp server + tftp server. Testbed: S2882 Terminal Machine: .... After booting up, I use ftp to get rom image in dev server and flash that into rom. I'm curious that how you can use the flash tool in DEV server???

答复: AGP VGA support committed

Does the emulator works with ATI vgabios? After execute the vgabios, do you get the normal text console? Regards YH -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Li-Ta Lo [mailto:ollie@lanl.gov] 发送时间: 2004年5月24日 12:12 收件人: LinuxBIOS 主题: AGP VGA support committed Hello, I committed the support for AGP/VGA in AMD K8. The IO/MEM resources should be set correctly and the only thing one have to do to init an Nvidia AGP card is run the testbios emulator with the VGA BIOS. I am going to move the emulator into LinuxBIOS in the near future so we can have VGA console earilier.
