Hello Eric,
I searched the linux kernel mail archive and found your patch for x86 boot linuxbios support, but I didn't find the linuxbios table parse code in linux-2.6.8.1, does linux kernel still parse the linuxbios table now?

Not currently. When I originally introduced the table I could not get my patch in. At the moment mkelfImage just digest the table and feeds Linux what it is expecting.
A bit of hack but a pragmatic solution for now.

Any endeavor to walk on the linux+lbtable path? Now that x86emu is working it would be very nice to store things like framebuffer address and resolution/depth in the lbtable as well..
