mkelf-linux does not know how to bypass the BIOS calls so it will not work under LinuxBIOS.
Please get mkelfImage 2.5

Thanks Eric, but I think the problem is deeper than this.
I just tried to start Linuxbios on the machine, with no network cable, no drives, no nothing. It starts up, comes to the Boot from (N)etwork (D)isk (F)loppy or (Q)uit.
I hit 'Q' here.
And I get LinuxBIOS-1.1.62.0_Fallback [date date] starting... Unknown Trwt
So this is happening way before the image is even downloaded.
I'm experiencing other problems with this bios image as well. I can't boot of hard drive or off floppy, it justs, for [D]isk boot "probing pci disk [IDE] LBA48mode, disk-1... Searching for image... <abort> Probing pci disk... [IDE] Probing isa disk... <sleep> Boot from (N)etwork...
When I replace the BIOS chip back with the AMI original image, I'm able to boot from floppy without a problem.
So, my next step is to rebuild my linuxbios image, and flash it again... but... it appears that cvs.sourceforge.net is down. Does anyone have a recent checkout of the CVS tree I can wget or ftp? Please IM or mail me...
