LinuxBios booted to filo. Motherboard is abit be6. This is azza/pt-6ibd/ config using http://coreboot.org/AZZA_PT-6IBD_Build_Tutorial. filo config was also from it.
Config was modified to use just fallback image with 128k chip. I don't have spare 256k chip now. Flashing needed uniflash.

Cool!
FILO doesn't find a hard drive at hda. Do you have one there?
Either way, it would be nice if you could use memtest as payload and let it run for a few hours to check that RAM is set up right.

It now boots with filo. This time with different filo Config file. # means these lines were commented out.
#USE_GRUB = 1 MENULST_TIMEOUT = 6 -> = 10 VGA_CONSOLE = 1 -> VGA_CONSOLE = 0 PC_KEYBOARD = 1 -> PC_KEYBOARD = 0 #SUPPORT_PCI = 1 #PCI_BRUTE_SCAN = 1 added DEBUG_ALL = 1
using single 64M chip memtest was ok after 20 minutes. If longer time is needed then I test new version of memtest. Reading supported motherboards azza/pt-6ibd/ works also with 64MB it is marked as WIP.
Keyboard isn't working yet. Tested ps/2 keyboard. Using kernel as boot file it boots. I can't log in with keyboard or minicom. This could be something simple I don't now. Writing of boot line works with minicom.
Maybe I could add some useful logs with using some startup scripts?
Slightly edited minicom log is attached. It might still have something unneccessary lines.

I can confirm. It has been reported by me a while ago: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2007-December/028256.html People on IRC tried to help me, but the problem still remains.
Did you use flashrom on this board? It didn't work for me, and I had to use uniflash in dos.

What did you change to make FILO boot from your disk?

Does a USB keyboard work? (does the board have onboard-USB?)
Some of the 440BX boards have problems with the PS/2 keyboard, I haven't yet found out if it's superio-related or some more general problem in the code somewhere...
Please check the patch for the Abit BE6-II V2.0 I just (re)posted. Is your board identical to that one or is it really the "BE6" (without "II" or "V2.0")? If it's not exactly the same, please post some more information about it, e.g. 'lspci -tvnn', 'superiotool -dV', 'flashrom -V', and the output of 'getpir' (a file called 'irq_table.c').
Thanks, Uwe.

Sounds familiar. It is fixed by a patch: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2007-December/028339.html nobody seemed to pay attention to it.

Please repost the patch with a short explanation, it probably just got overlooked.
