Nice to hear from you again.
I have a custom system using LinuxBIOS V1. Yes! 1! This is a PIII/440BX based system.
We have found that we can boot 2.6.23-17, but can not boot 2.6.24. Investigation using characters posted on the serial port suggest that we are starting the kernel and getting to about the point where the clock speed of the CPU and then it just stops as far as we can tell.
This may or may not be an option, but have you thought about coreboot v2? AFAIK it should work well on PIII/i440BX systems.
Hello Tyson, coreboot v2 i440bx code should work for you. I was looking at the code last night for someone else and it appears alot of the code is hardcoded. It is a good starting point, but the i440bx still needs some work. Hope that helps.
P.S. - I am local to the area and I know one of your co-workers :-)
