Removing the ATA card really doesn't change anything?
After removing the ATA card, the system boots to Linux.
Ok!
But I need to use that card.
I think there was a change committed that allows just the VGA ROM to be executed and ignores the ATA card ROM. Does anyone else remember?
Hmm.. If anyone remembers, let me know. Thx in advance.

I don't think Luc Verhaegan's patch ever got in, so just set CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE but not CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN. The VGA rom will still run. You can check this out in src/device/pci_rom.c (I haven't, so I could be wrong or have some config value named wrong).

No, that was the old behaviour. Luc had a valid point, so equivalent changes did go in.
Set CONFIG_VGA_ROM_RUN, but not CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN in this case now.

I'll agree that he did have a valid point, but his changes never went in (according to svn log). He's working on a native framebuffer driver for via hardware, and doesn't want any roms run even if CONFIG_VGA is set.

Yeah, I missed that part, sorry, I was just looking for Luc's sign-off. Sorry.
