I am getting to grips with flashing my bios. I have followed the documentation in the EPIA_M HOWTO and I have flashed a couple bios'es and my epia still works, so far so good. I do not want a serial console (I have the serial port connected to the car, so I dont want stuff going down there), but I would like a VGA console. I copied the Config.vga.filo as it comes from svn to Config.lb (just changing the path to filo.elf), but I get this after running buildtarget, then make:
"XIP_ROM_BASE is not a multiple of XIP_ROM_SIZE" make[1]: *** [auto.inc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/ibus/bios/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/via/epia-m/epia-m/normal' make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1
So I went back to my Config.lb which did work (but with no VGA) and I changed:
< option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=1 ---
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=0 option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
in an attempt to turn off serial console and turn on the VGA console, this builds fine, and boots, but with no VGA output. I think I am missing a trick here?
Anyone have a Config file for the EPIA M II 6000 with VGA enabled?
My Config file is below:
# Sample config file for EPIA-M # This will make a target directory of ./epia-m
target epia-m
mainboard via/epia-m
option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=0 option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
option ROM_SIZE=256*1024 option HAVE_OPTION_TABLE=1 option CONFIG_ROM_STREAM=1 option HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT=1
