it possibly may be bochs. Are both keyboard and mouse plugged in?
does it work without ADLO/BOCHS BIOS? ie can you run linux from LinuxBIOS stanalone?

I tested ADLO on EPIA but it failed on the first try.
I grapped vgabios using your Makefile target and modified loader.s to enable shadow ram control registers of EPIA. However, it hang around post code 0x96 and nothing is shown on the CRT.
Do you have any idea what 0x96 post code means. Is it a bochs post code or vgabios postcode?

I'm trying to bring up VGA on EPIA board.
From the list, EPIA board is supported and I've tested
with Angrew's image.
However, due to full support of VGA is necessary, I'm
trying to figure out
ADLO to run binary only VGABIOS rom image. Can I acomplish this with ADLO?. If yes, how much extra
work will be needed
you think?
I'm not familar with EPIA. Wasn't that the motherboard that had all this video emulation code (whatever you would call it). what's the gfx card anyway?
anyway. if you can separate out the vga bios from rest of the bios (and it can function standalone), then there's no reason why it would not work.
as for "how much extra work" depends on what you want to use it for. for example IDE code in bochs-bios could use some more work (last time I looked at it).
