- is your kernel compiled for any K7 or newer CPUs? I remember I had problems with the default SUSE kernel because it assumed CPU features that an Epia-M 10000 did not have.
I did a quick test getting a vanilla kernel and compiled it for C3. Same (bad) result. BTW. I'm running an EPIA-M2 12000.
- Can you run memtest as a payload before proceeding with filo? http://www.memtest86.com/ or http://www.memtest.org/ (not sure which one of them supports LinuxBIOS)
Yes I can. Both serial and VGA output :)
I did not test with both memtest and filo as payload, only memtest. Do you know why I'm getting all those errors from memtest? Is that my problem?
