Hi, Alexei,
I have found how to use AMIdeco from http://linuxbios.org/Tyan_S2882_Build_Tutorial#VGA_bios. But I am still now sure the other problems I asked in my last email....
Best, Ning

Hi, Alexei,
Thanks for your posts on DK8-HTX. I am just starting working on this mainboard these two days. From what you said in your email, you modify several things I think, and most of them must be modified by lxbios, I try to summarize your work: 1 serial console baud_rate -> 115200 2 max_mem_clock -> 400MHz 3 boot_first ("HDD"), boot_second and boot_third ("Fallback_HDD"). I am not sure how to achieve the third one. Is it also in cmos?
And another question is that I don't know how to dd a 36K Video ROM as you said. Do you just enlarge the size of dd? such as this? dd if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.bin skip=1536 count=72
Is that all the things you make LinuxBIOS run on DK8-HTX? Thanks for your help!
Best Ning

Looking at the serial console output after changing the boot_option value to "Normal" and the debug_level value to "Spew" in the CMOS, I've found that the system hangs near the very begining of load process after trying to find some memory (dram0).
Forgot to mention that to see the serial console output I also changed the baud_rate CMOS value to "115200"--since just this value was defined in the LinuxBios Config-s and I had set my serial console client (kermit) to wait connection just on this rate.
