Are they all in the c0000 segment? If so, its not a problem, as thats the vga bios area which is not writable..
Yes they're all in that segment.
You don't have any clue why my kernel loads but then LB restarts as mentioned in my previous posting?
I've tested with plain kernel ( several different ones ), kernel and initrd, kernel+initrd with mkelfImage and a lot of different settings for kernel params. etc. Nothing helps, it keeps on restarting after kernel is loaded. Is there any more debug that I can switch on to se whats causing the error?
Bought a via PD6000 about two weeks ago. Using factory bios until I get everything else just right. One of the first thing i discovered the via box kept restarting, so I moved the hd to a tyan mb and tried booting. The tyan stopped with a kernel panic.
Got the via working and then built several versions of a 2.6.19 kernel. The one that seems to work the best is where the cpu is called a "k6". If interested, will email copy of the config file. (Or, if there's enough interest will post it).
