Great, It
solved the problem.
About the
etherboot I try to run with
It stack in: Jumping to
LinuxBIOS
When I use the
Command: Make
bin/r8169.zelf
Now the elf
image is loading and there is no respond from the VGA..
The kernel
parameter is: console=tty0.
Maybe I didn't
patch the kernel with the correct patch file.
Where can I
get the patch of the kernel supporting ATI Ragexl?
I am using
Thanks,

I have this definition in targets/tyan/s2850/Config.lb:
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
Not default as you wrote.
Is it ok?
Should I had the same thing in
src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb?

You need to add
uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT
default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
dir /drivers/ati/ragexl
after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios
after vga init.
You also need to enable the btext in
Etherboot. You should use Etherboot
About kernel, you need to use kernel
patch to enable ragexl frame buffer support.

Hello,
I
am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is running with console.
I
add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200" and I have linux
which runs with console.
How can I run with VGA?
Should I add some code to the bios?
The
VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.
