I just had set the ROM_SIZE..
This is a mess in v2.
But at that point i've a (maybe) stupid question: What is the difference between normal/fallback/failover, and are all these 3 images needed?
No. failover chooses between normal or fallback. If you only want one image use fallback and failover. See e.g. m57sli/Config.lb.kernel
Could someone explain that a little more in detail?
I built the normal image, but it didn't boot like expected. It seems that the ide drives get initialised, but i don't get any response on my monitor. I also tried to compile a LAB image, where i get as response on the monitor just a blinking "_". On building the LAB image, i used the normal buildrom and just modified two ROM size parameters.
Another quite simple/stupid question is, how do i generate a payload.elf with the correct kernel options by hand?
Using the tool mkelfImage, but the latest version I know of does not support x86_64 kernels. :\
Yinghai Lu sent a patch which added support, but I gave it a quick try without success.
