Hello from Gregg C Levine So I gathered from his earlier posts on this subject, and about that board specifically. But Adam, isn't ADLO board agnostic? By that I mean, that it does not need to know what motherboard it is being used on, unlike basic Linux BIOS. But, I am indeed watching this with interest. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

to clarify. He's been working on getting ADLO running on EPIA-M.
He's been pretty succesfull so far.
Using serial console he's got both lilo and linux to boot using
ADLO, so
that you can use them pretty much "out of box" as long as you don't
need
video. However from what I heard you can get video once boot is done
and
you run some video program (TinyX Xvesa here).
As far as video goes, on cold-reboot he's getting :
Then, screen is blinkering with various color, but I can't see
any
text.
As far as video goes, on warm-reboot (after booting with original PC
BIOS)
he's getting :
If I first booted from original bios and reset with linuxbios
+
adlo, I can see text messages of original bios remained.
ideas on how to attack the issue?
Overall I would say that anyone who want to try get ADLO to work
should
start with serial console and leave VIDEO to the end given
difficulty
debugging binary-only module.
Another good idea is to try warm-boot from PC BIOS into ADLO at
beginning
of development/work on ADLO. It leaves you with somewhat functioning video-bios (or fully-functioning as it was for me).

Hello,
I made a patch which make all bochs debug message can be seen from
serial
terminal. I think it might be useful if you want to apply ADLO to your own
target.
you can apply this patch againt util/ADLO/bochs/bios/rombios.c by # patch -p0 < rombios-serial.patch
