[LinuxBIOS] SUSE 10.2 on a Tyan S2895

[Khalid Paden]

Hi,

I am trying to get LinuxBIOSv2 to run with my system running SUSE 10.2
on a Tyan-(AMD64) S2895 on a 2.6.20 kernel.
I have tried four differnt ones from the archive as well. They all fail
at different points. Any ideas?
gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

echo '/*ldoptions*/' > ldscript.ld; cat ldoptions >> ldscript.ld ; for

You need to download Etherboot and build it and put it into
targets/payloads dir.

A payload must be included in LinuxBIOS builds.

Please see http://linuxbios.org/Payloads, choose a payload, build it,
change targets/tyan/s2895/Config.lb from
payload ../../../../payloads/forcedeth--filo_hda2_vga.zelf
to
payload ../wherever/it/is/payload.elf

Then re-run buildtarget, and finally make should produce a
linuxbios.rom with your new payload included.
