Hi,
I'm a bit confused what to put in Config.lb file. I want to use onboard cf to boot linux with vga. I have already extracted videobios from the latest bios version (1.37). I also have filo compiled. I'm using a build 2552 of linuxbios v2. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10. The howto doc for epia-m seems to be outdated.
So, any ideas what kind of config.lb file I should use?

I've been using the abuild utility and the Config-abuild.lb config file to build images for the mii6000.

I managed to get working bios, but how I can enable onboard vga. abuild seems to build 256KB bios by default, so I can't just 'cat' vga bios to linuxbios.

Hi!
This might be of help, this is a "subject" i started last year, having same troubles as you i guess.
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxbios@linuxbios.org/msg03543.html
And i got my board running, only issue i have is some restart issues. But having linuxbios on it is Well worth my board not managing to make a successfull restart every once in a while.
Best regards Kurt.
