any idea why linuxbios is not starting on the epia-m 600? i run memtest86 -- all tests (took about 24hours ;-) -> everyting ok. (run memtest86 from lilo). i also tried the patch of Ian Smith ian@abelon.com.
ok, so you did memtest86 as a payload and it worked?
no. executed memtest86 from lilo -- not as payload. as i sayed, the payload code is not executed / not reached. linuxbios seems to stop in c_start.s and it never reaches src/arch/i386/lib/hardwaremain.c (i think so, because there are some printk's in harwaremain which i never see on the serial console).
It's time to try XIP (execute in place) and see how it goes.
xip? instead of copying to ram, execute the code directly from the rom?
