EPIA-M 600 Cannot start

[Dmitry Borisov]

My respect to all.
I've got problem trying to burn linuxbios into EPIA-M 600. 
Config file attached if it could help. When I burn image and restart mb, it does not say anything to the serial. Even single character.
Here is the output from flash_rom utility:

SST39SF020A found at physical address: 0xfffc0000
Part is SST39SF020A
Programming Page: 0063 at address: 0x0003f000

Sorry, that's pretty much I have from linuxbios to share.

I wonder if anyone having EPIA-M 600 could send me the correct config file and correct romimage as well or let me know when I'm wrong.
Appreciate your help,
Dmitry/

Some additional info that might help.

gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
GNU assembler 2.13.90.0.2 20020802

i am using a epia-m 600 with success.
current cvs of freebios/linuxbios version1 works fine.

i used:
===
$ cat ../example.config | grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$
target /home/niki/packages/freebios-20031024-build
mainboard via/epia-m
option SERIAL_CONSOLE=1
option TTYS0_BAUD=115200
option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=9
option DEBUG=1
option RAMTEST=1
option USE_GENERIC_ROM=1
option STD_FLASH=1
option ROM_SIZE=262144
option PAYLOAD_SIZE=196608
option USE_ELF_BOOT=1
payload /home/niki/packages/filo-0.4/filo.elf
===

there is currently a problem with the speed of the serial port.
it might be a baudrate less (in my case it is 57600 although i
specified 115200).

i can send you my romimage for testing if you want.

gcc: 3.3.1
binutils: 2.14
(should not matter)

system: my own ;-)

busybox/1.0.0pre3
freeswan/2.04
gmp/4.1.2

Thanks Niki,
It look almost the same as mine. Appreciate if you can send me working image
so I can narrow down the problem.
