[LinuxBIOS] EPIA-M compilation (with VGA) problems

[Surj Singh Basan]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get linuxbios compiled for my EPIA-M10000 with the 
original VIA VGA code (from the existing BIOS).

I've downloaded the source and following the instructions in 
documentation/HOWTO/EPIA-M-howto, but it seems a bit outdated.

I've also search on this newsgroup, but I am having little luck.

Does anyone know the steps to build LinuxBIOS with the original EPIA VGA 
code?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Surj

It should still be functional, afaik there's been no real changes to
LinuxBIOSv2 or the vendor bios since it was written. Somewhere in the
wiki there's a set of links to the latest versions of awardeco, etc,
can't remember where (it might even be that page), but even the older
versions should work.
