Hi,
Acutally , I've LinuxBios IDE_BOOT onto hard drive. All this is fascinating. I'am so excited :) Ok , ok i've got a "unknown file system" : i've got ext3 root partition on it, couldn't Linuxbios boot ext3 part just by now ? If true want option should I add ?
I've seen this about framebuffer and VGA on epia-M: http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2004-March/006817.html http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2004-April/007494.html humm i'd love to see tux sitting on the corner of my screen...
Dmitry or Ron may I ask you if you could send me the HOWTO that you were talking about ?
Is it already operationnal ? What type of option does/will it requiere to get set in Config ? I need also these info this because I'am coding a sort linuxbios command center script. It lets user choose between IDE HARD BOOT or CF BOOT or ETHER BOOT and so on, and automatically add options, configure stuffs and lauches makes logs strings, and point errors or dangereous warnings at the user. It also gather video.bios and flashes the whole into a specified target (for now ROM chip). What do you think of this ?
Thanks. mathieu
I'm not going to get too look at -M for another 10 days.
But we'd like to get that up under V2 with graphics. Also I have no docs from VIA yet.

hum i see ... but didn't we got native LinuxBIOS VGA up on EPIA-M ? As I read along mailist , I have believed it has been done, both vga bios and VGA LB native , so what kind of info should we need more ? Indeed we do need some more otherwise I wouldn't ask for a little:)
I should drawback to do it vga bios way ... need to push 1x0000 LB base start so i can put 64k video bios from 0xc000 to 1xc000. Is that right ? Do it need to use ALDO or/and BOCH ? Sorry for the mess i feel i do but i'am getting lost. As said in mails, i thought there were a guide on this subject or at least some few docs written by goodwill LB people ..snif.. i'll keep trying.
any clarification are welcome .

on V1 not V2. It works fine on V1. But ram detection on V1 is not working. You only get one size ram.

you need to get a vga bios image. Once you have that I can send you the V1 config we used for -M

I am trying first to get btext config to display something on my screen but i does nothing. I have no payload, no videoBIOS ROM, and no activate VGABIOS. I have this output (truncat. ) my CyberBlade i3 chipset is in 01:00.0

Mathieu, You still need VGA bios to be invoked( if it is EPIA-M ). Please see threads earlier to get more details. Dmitry/
