I've been trying to get Linuxbios working on Arima HDAMA, but am not getting any output to the screen. I'm using the latest CVS code, and have tried various methods of flashing the bios.
My SST49LF040 on the motherboard is 512k . By default the linuxbios.rom is 256k. I've tried flashing that to the device and it won't boot.
I've also tried catting that together twice to get a 512k rom and flashing that to the chip....doesn't boot...no output to the screen.
I've tried building a 512k linuxbios.rom and flashing that...doesn't work either.
I've tried using the Linux mtd drivers to do the flashing. Doing a diff of /dev/mtd0 and linuxbios.rom after the flash seems to indicate that the flash was successful. Rebooting the system fails though.
I've also tried the dos program uniflash program with the same results.
What might I be doing wrong?
Does anyone have a working linuxbios.rom that they could send me? Or some details on how to get it to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
