Garbled output is usually a symptom of incorrect serial baud rate. It seems fine in the boot loader, perhaps he needs to pass console=ttys0,115200 to his kernel.
By the way, I am still working on filo. In my machine, after elfboot passing control to filo, LinuxBIOS Fallback restarts again. Following is a piece of screenshot: ...... Loading Segment: addr: 0x0000000000100000 memsz: 0x00000000000240e0 filesz: 0x000000000000a048 Clearing Segment: addr: 0x000000000010a048 memsz: 0x000000000001a098 Loading Segment: addr: 0x00000000001240e0 memsz: 0x0000000000000048 filesz: 0x0000000000000048 Jumping to boot code at 0x107d28 .8(=±sioÿ.
This looks like baud rate troubles in part.
also, what does readelf -a of the filo show? your start address seems odd. David, what do you think?
