Re: [LinuxBIOS] S2882 - Fallback Only?

[Lu, Yinghai]

Don't need.

You can put the payload as follow

FULL_FILO_WITH_USB+NORMAL_IMAGE+FALLBACK_IMAGE

Then you make filo to be very simple one with command line to boot the
FULL_FILO_WITH_USB in FLASH.

Or you can use tiny kernel as payload for normal back, then fallback can
jump that kernel.

Please check README.filo_in_etherboot for more command lines about

mem@0xfffe0000

you may need to subtract the size for VGA Option rom on flash if you are
using it.

Subject: [LinuxBIOS] S2882 - Fallback Only?

First off thanks for your help with the APIC problems on my system.

Now I am trying to straighten out the boot sequence. I have noticed that
I am booting off the fallback image. Both images are build using the
payload and the same configuration. However, I would like to use Filo
with USB disk support, and that increased Filo's size by 50% from 24K to
34K. This makes filo large to fit inside of the 131K room for the
fallback rom image.

Is there any help you guys could give me as to why I am not booting off
the primary image?

Thanks,

Matt
