FILO is giving me the error below when using autoboot and attempting to boot from a usb drive. I think this might be due to this board having 4 USB controllers, but I'm not really sure. The board in question is the CN700/VT8237R board, booting the factory BIOS and then booting FILO through grub. USB is enabled in the BIOS, EHCI is disabled, and all USB controllers are enabled (there's no option to disable some, it's all or none). BTW, Peter's FILO IDE speedup patch works great on this board! This error occurs with a fresh checkout as well. I'm hoping someone with more USB knowledge than me (which doesn't take much) can tell what's wrong here.
Check your config according to http://www.linuxbios.org/index.php/Etherboot
The following flags in src/arch/i386/Config are critical for a normal bios: CFLAGS+= -DPCBIOS #CFLAGS+= -DLINUXBIOS CFLAGS+= -DCONFIG_PCI_DIRECT CFLAGS+= -DCONSOLE_DIRECT_VGA #filo is for some reason dependent on serial; will hang otherwise CFLAGS+= -DCONSOLE_SERIAL -DCOMCONSOLE=0x3f8 #don't uncomment this one; will slow down display on fast machines (P4) #CFLAGS+= -DCOMPRESERVE
Thanks!
