Mainboard: EPIA 800.
Building LB appears to go well, using these steps (my Options.lb and Config.lb are listed at the end of this note):
- cd <stuff>/targets - ./buildtarget via/epia - cd via/epia/epia - make
The build appears to go without a hitch. At that point I write targets/via/epia/epia/linuxbios.rom to my flash part, and boot the board, only to be greeted with this:
LinuxBIOS-1.1.7.0Fallback Wed Jan 19 16:11:07 PST 2005 starting... vt8601 init starting Slot 00 is SDRAM 04000000 bytes x2 Slot 01 is empty Slot 02 is empty Slot 03 is empty vt8601 done
Can somebody let me know what might cause it to immediately go to the fallback image, instead of the normal image that has my filo payload in it?
My Options.lb and Config.lb are below -- I didn't include the build output because it's so big, but if it would help anyone I can send it along.
Thanks for any and all help!
