Thanks to ron I made an romimage that is the right size, without um commenting out code here and there ;). LinuxBIOS was built fine, comes up sort of. Here's the logfile. I used FILO as my payload and well it can't find the device hda1... I've tried it with FILO 0.3 and 0.2, and get the same results... Here is the output... its long but well sorry ;)
thanks for the output!
Guess what? This is all my fault!
Well, actually, it is that although I am certain I am programming the IDE control registers correctly, FILO doesn't like what I have done:
Press <Enter> for default boot, or <Esc> for boot prompt... 2 1 timed out boot: hda1:/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 Detected floating bus
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
bad! bad! bad!
No such device boot: hda1:/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 No such device
So, I will try to fix this, as I really want FILO working. I will try to figure this out tomorrow.
ron p.s. did you know that if you rearrange the letters of IDE, it spells DIE?
