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
Regards,
Phani

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.

Thanks - Joe
