No booting

[Adam Talbot]

OK, Guys...
I am stuck on this one.
I have a Shuttle motherboard FV24 running a Via vt8604 chipset.  I have the system booting linux and have been tring to install linuxbios.  I can never get any output from the com port.  I have console redirect running in grub, so I no that part is running and good test point. My current config is just the epia config with an updated irq_tables.c.  I make the linuxbios.rom, clean compile, no errors.  I flash the system I get nothing.  No boot, no output from console, nothing....  What am I missing?

Your com port might not be turned on yet. Check your super IO. See if
it's the same with what your code is based on.

Humm, been looking over this board... Cant spot the super IO... Normally that is a very easy thing to ID. Any easy ways to find such things from the Linux command line? A quick googling turned up nothing.

i think it is part of your south bridge.. probably.

Grumble Grumble.... The super io is built into my southbridge VT82C686B... OK, i hope that via was lazy, I will try to compile with the vt1211 super io, hope that works.
