building romimage for tyan s2850 mainboard

[Sagiv Yefet]

I am trying to build and run a romimage for tyan s2850:

Hardware:

No disks

Superio : w83627hf

Ethernet: broadcom

Southbridge: 8111

It looks like the default mainboard configuration.

In order to start I wanted to build only the normal image. Only to see
some output in the console.

I made the following changes in Config.lb:

* put the romimage "fallback" statement in comment.

* FALLBACK_SIZE =0.

* HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT = 0

* remove "fallback from build: buildrom ./linuxbios.rom ROM_SIZE
"normal"

* Use filo boot.

I built the romimage, burn it and the console doesn't show output.

The problem is not in the cable.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks,

Sagiv

The way LinuxBIOS is built you need to build a fallback image without
normal image instead. This will work.

The fallback image is more a "base image" whereas the normal image is an
"add on image".
