I don't think so, That web only for normal BIOS payloads?
He need to download the source code, and set the option to LinuxBIOS and
compile it.

Has any one ever thought of making a gaming console using LinuxBIOS? I would
like to put one together using open standard hardware and with a linux based
OS.
The goal, to create a openstandard/opensource game console. Then game
companies can make games for low prices since this system doesn't have to
deal in royalties.
I hear the Xbox360 will be around $300 and the games $60. I think that's
complete bull spit. I think it's time for people in the Linux world to make
our own game …
[View More]console.
We made a operating system as an alternative to Windows now it's time to do
the same with their game console.
We gave the computer world freedom now lets give the gaming world freedom so
junior (as well as adults) aren't spending arm and leg for games, consoles
and other parts.
It's not just money I want people to save but to give them back freedom in the
technology they use.
The hardware side of this project is easy. The hard part is putting together
a small Linux OS for it and customizing LinuxBIOS for this kind of system.
If any one wants to start such project let me know. All I have are ideas,
what I don't have is the knowledge to pull this off.
Which is why I need some of you talented people to help me start a project to
pull this off.

Hi everyone,
I could build the LinuxBIOSv2 on cygwin, but it is asking for some payload
to build the eventual image, linuxbios.rom.
This is the error it gives while executing the last build step,
****************************************************************************
******************************************
i386-elf-objcopy --gap-fill 0xff -O binary linuxbios linuxbios.strip
--> Linuxbios.strip generated
./buildrom linuxbios.strip linuxbios.rom

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/d/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/amd/solo/solo/normal'
make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1
****************************************************************************
******************************************
Can any body tell me where do I get this payload image (tg3--ide_disk.zelf
)?
I have got one more small question.
Can we boot the windows 2000 using the image build of LinuxBIOSv2 sources?
Does it need any other stuffs like ADLOBochs or something?
With regards,
Narahari

No, I am not sure. I haven't gotten the card to work with my LinuxBIOS yet. I have seen it work with a Pheonix BIOS and FC3 kernel with the driver. So I know it works. The Pheonix BIOS doesn't show me an output of what it is doing as it loads.
So I am looking for a direction of why it isn't working yet. I was thinking it might be the lack of executing a ROM, but didn't want to waste my time going down a path not needed. It seems that I should look deeper into the register set on my PCI-E …
[View More]device for the slot and the PCI-E expansion register space for why it isn't working yet.

Hello All,
I am trying to work on getting a PCI-E card working and came across an error that I am wondering if I need to worry about. Below shows that the VGA ROM is loading, but not the ROM from the PCI-E card (at the bottom). Both of these cards are in slots and not onboard. The PCI-E card is an Ethernet card. As the device is getting a bus and resources seemingly just fine, I would think that the ROM would have been found. My question is ... do all add-on cards need to load an …

option rom purposes
1. patch chip bugs
2. installed BIOS call, so OS can boot from SCSI...
3. PXE boot from network...
4. Some UO for setup.
5. VGA card, init ....
So depend what card that you are going to use.

I was wondering how difficult/useful it would be to
have a very small bios that boots enough to get on the
network and then loads the working bios from there. I
keep making little changes (printing stuff …
[View More]out) and it
is a pain to keep burning Roms. This would also let
you have as big a bios as you want. In a cluster you
could make a bios change just by updating one file.
