Am first time user of LinuxBIOS though I have been introduced long time ago.
After going thru' QEMU build tutorial from LinuxBIOS website, downloaded and started building the packages in the order given.
mkelfImagev2.7 build went thru without problems (Am using vmlinuz and initrd of Linux kernel 2.6.15 or 2.6.17)
LinuxBIOSV2-2405 was the next. As per the doc, edited ROM_SIZE and the laoction of linux.elf. After running buildtarget without problems, make failed with the following errors.
<snip>

Would like to have at least the Kernel v2.6.15 into LinuxBIOS. Any ideas how it is possible to accomodate this ?
