[LinuxBIOS] r2587 build service

[LinuxBIOS information]

Dear LinuxBIOS readers!

This is the automated build check service of LinuxBIOS.

The developer "stepan" checked in revision 2587 to
the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following 
changes:

Change Log:
This patch makes sure that VGA is initialized before it is used. Without
this fix, LinuxBIOS crashes if the CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL is high enough.

Additionally, The VGA option rom will be executed if either
CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1 or CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1.

Build Log:
Compilation of artecgroup:dbe61 has been broken
Compilation of gigabyte:m57sli is still broken
Configuration of msi:ms9282 is still broken
Compilation of nvidia:l1_2pvv is still broken
Compilation of supermicro:h8dmr is still broken
Compilation of technologic:ts5300 has been broken
Compilation of tyan:s2912 is still broken

If something broke during this checkin please be a pain 
in stepan's neck until the issue is fixed.

If this issue is not fixed within 24h the revision will 
be backed out.

The patch was wrong. It was taken from here:
http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-February/018257.html
This patch does not initialize VGA when CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA==0 and
CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN==1.

The patch should have been taken from here:
http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-February/018284.html

The attached patch corrects the head revision.

I tried to build the broken compilations using the default procedure
"buildtarget && make -C <directory>" and I am confused:

1.
~/linuxbios/targets>./buildtarget technologic/ts5300/Config.lb && make
-C technologic/ts5300/technologic_ts5300
completes without an error for both r2586 and r2587 (dies looking for
the payload).
2.
~/linuxbios/targets>./buildtarget technologic/ts5300/Config-abuild.lb
gives
===> ERROR: Option __COMPRESSION__ undefined (missing use command?)
for both r2586 and r2587.

I conclude that it brakes for unrelated reasons.

Regargs,
Roman

I think I've figured it out. Please consider this patch.
