RE: Running with VGA

[Sagiv Yefet]

I try to build freebios2-20041216-0400
And I get this compilation error:
 
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios -T ldscript.ld crt0.o
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux
-gnu/bin/ld: section .reset [fffdfff0 -> fffdffff] overlaps section .rom
[fffd88c1 -> fffe0d7f]
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux
-gnu/bin/ld: section .id [fffdffd9 -> fffdffef] overlaps section .rom
[fffd88c1 -> fffe0d7f]
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [linuxbios] Error 1
 
What do you think it is?

I have this definition in targets/tyan/s2850/Config.lb:
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
Not default as you wrote.
Is it ok? 
 
Should I had the same thing in src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb?

You need to add
 
uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT
 
default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
 
dir /drivers/ati/ragexl
 
after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios after vga init.
 
You also need to enable the btext in Etherboot. You should use Etherboot
5.2.6. it includes filo and btext console.
 
About kernel, you need to use kernel patch to enable ragexl frame buffer
support.

Hello, 
            I am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is running
with console.
            I add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200" and I have
linux which runs with console.
            
How can I run with VGA? Should I add some code to the bios? 
 
            The VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.

Your ROM_IMAGE_SIZE is too small..
