Hi!
Got LB release 2587 running on iwill:dk8_htx at last.
Have a request and a question
I. Request
Please, change the section heading (and the corresponding sentence in its contents) from
Append VGA BIOS to Prepend VGA BIOS
and
use "cat" to concat the two images to use "cat" to prepend VGA BIOS image to linuxbios.rom image
in the "DK8HTX Build Tutorial".
Seems this change can save a lot of time and effort to a LB newbie. :)
BTW, here special thanks to Randall Philipson! His "Push pins" idea is incredible!
II. Question
Had anybody got onboard VGA working on DK8-HTX?
IMHO I have done all the steps mentioned in DK8HTX Build Tutorial--config diff attached. But output goes only to the serial console, no sign of life on VGA (to clarify, there is a change to get flashrom working--#63, fix still isn't merged to the trunk?,--but VGA doesn't live without it also).
VGA BIOS got as said (size=32K) and prepended to linuxbios.rom, its contents starts from 55AA.
Flashrom worked fine, LB -> etherboot runs fine, Linux loaded and flying (still haven't tried HTX card).
Maybe, I am missing something? Have anybody any clue?
Serial console boot log attached also.
Thanks in advance,
Alexei I. Adamovich
