I recently purchased a Tyan S2882 motherboard so that I could play with linuxbios. Alas, even purchasing a supported board with a tutorial isn't straight forward. I have cut and pasted the Config example for FILO with grub, and editing only the
MENULST_FILE = "hda1:/grub/menu.lst" to MENULST_FILE = "hda1:/boot/grub/menu.lst" to reflect the location of my grub's menu.lst file.
But, it won't compile. Any help?
We're going to need a lot more details. What doesn't compile - filo? What's the error you get? What version of GCC do you use?
Thanks, Ward
I'm trying to compile filo-0.5 (It's at the beginning of the tutorial, so I've started there. I may well have other problems later. (If someone wants to send me a compiled linuxbios for the S2882 using the ATI bios with a payload, that would be ok!) The last few lines of the output are:

I've attempted the compile with gcc 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4) on kubuntu feisty. I have the S2882 motherboard without builtin SCSI. I have 2 processors installed. The drive is an IDE drive. A floppy and CDROM are also installed.
Thank you.
