Hi Joe,
Looks like I was specifying the kernel and initrd file path in correctly. This is what the .cfg file says.
default harddisk # hard disk label harddisk localboot 0x80 # install label linux kernel linux append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts # noacpi label noacpi kernel linux append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts acpi=off # nolapic label nolapic kernel linux append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts nolapic # failsafe label failsafe kernel linux append initrd=initrd splash=silent showopts apm=off acpi=off mce=off barrier=off ide=nodma idewait=50 i8042.nomux psmouse.proto=bare irqpoll pci=nommconf # rescue label rescue kernel linux append initrd=initrd splash=silent rescue=1 showopts # memory test label memtest kernel memtest implicit 1 gfxboot bootlogo display message prompt 1 timeout 200

I need to check that. I do specify the serial terminal parameters "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200". The coreboog image doesot include the VGA ROM so serial console is the only way for me to check it.
I am sure the Geode LX Frame Buffer driver is not part of the booting kernel so the VGA will not litup.

Hello All,
Has anybody got a FILO to boot a SLES 10 SP1 DVD ? Even though I give
the
path to vmlinuz and initrd it still complains of file not found. Just
to be
sure I tried a RHEL CD and it works fine, I can actually see the installation related tasks on the serial console.
What does the isolinux.cfg file say? Is it possible the install kernel is not setup for serial console? Does it work over vga?
Thanks - Joe
