I have tried LinuxBIOS with Serengeti_cheetah ( rev F Opteron) on SimNow, and it works well.
I will try that with Serengeti_leopard later...

I'm trying to get started with LinuxBios by using the AMD SimNow hardware simulator to run LinuxBios on a Serenade board. Once we have success with simulations, we will try it on real hardware. The Serenade board is one of the standard predefined boards that comes with the simulator. Once I compile serenade.rom and reference this file as the rom device connected to the 8111(replacing the AMI BIOS file), I reboot but don't get too far into the new Linuxbios, I expected to see recognizable postcodes, such as 0x13 from c_start.S then 0x80, 0x39, 0x40 etc from hardwaremain(), but port 80 only toggles between 00 and 0x10. I try to single step from 0xfffffff0 (or 0xfffbfff0) but dont see code that looks like c_start.S. Does something come before this?
I must have built serenade.rom improperly: I did the following, buildtarget amd/serenade doneloaded filo.elf edited serenade/Config.lb to refer to the filo.elf as a payload make
Any ideas would be appreciated.
