you got a 2.5 kernel + kexec into 512KB?
Send me kernel version and .config :-)
The latest at that time 2.5.56. Those 2.5 series are not so easy to compile without networking are they ? It took me several 2.5 versions and kexec patch combinations before I could get it to compile. -------------------------------------------------------- # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_MMU=y CONFIG_SWAP=y CONFIG_UID16=y CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y

- linuxbios in flash and a 2.4 kernel at 00000 in a doc millenium as
described in the config file of the technoland board.
that works too?
Yes, it boots fine. Is it true to say that this could work with a doc2000 also? If I dd to the beginning of a doc2000 is that still offset zero , or should I skip for the (read-only) ipl?
I thiink you need to get your on-board SDRAM working first. Then let's talk about floppy etc.
I would also like to get a source tree for this board into the linuxbios cvs.
I will do my best to get the onboard ram to work as soon as possible. Or do you want to add it before that? If you do let me know, then I will clean it up and send it - cause I am going on a two-weeks vacation starting from this Thursday.
Greetings,
Daniel Toussaint
