yes. I have try several time. using the ADLO with Int13 support. when I
using the LILO & Grub , I works with
the IBM harddisk. but when I use the Flash IDE disk. always give me  LI 01
01 01 ... with LILO. or with Grub, too slow.
but with the etherboot+AA . it sounds great!. :-)

what exactly are you booting using AA patch? it seems to me that using his
patch you simply by pass either lilo or grub.

as for lilo, it seems to me that your problem is that you install lilo
using different system than you boot from so disk geometry changes and
thus the "LI" error.

as for grub. well it is weird. are you getting any errors? it seems to me
like bochs bios would need fixing.

btw: I assume you are using 16 bit PC BIOS modules from etherboot rather
than 32 bit EBI modules from said package, right? Interesting. Opens lots
of new possibilities.

I modify the makefile. that make etherboot can poll the IDE ELF kernel.

yeah . one time I have let  LILO work. but the speed still slow.

I agree with you. bochs bios of ATA need fixing. now it seem it does not
suitable to the real hardware.

right. I using the 16bit PC BIOS modules from etherboot. version 5.0.6. with
the AA patch.
