The developer "stepan" checked in revision 2587 to the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following changes:
Change Log: This patch makes sure that VGA is initialized before it is used. Without this fix, LinuxBIOS crashes if the CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL is high enough.
Build Log: Compilation of artecgroup:dbe61 has been broken Compilation of technologic:ts5300 has been broken
The patch was wrong. It was taken from here: http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-February/018257.html This patch does not initialize VGA when CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA==0 and CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN==1.
The patch should have been taken from here: http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-February/018284.html
The attached patch corrects the head revision.
I tried to build the broken compilations using the default procedure "buildtarget && make -C <directory>" and I am confused:
1. ~/linuxbios/targets>./buildtarget technologic/ts5300/Config.lb && make -C technologic/ts5300/technologic_ts5300 completes without an error for both r2586 and r2587 (dies looking for the payload). 2. ~/linuxbios/targets>./buildtarget technologic/ts5300/Config-abuild.lb gives ===> ERROR: Option __COMPRESSION__ undefined (missing use command?) for both r2586 and r2587.
I conclude that it brakes for unrelated reasons.
