RE: ADLO for EPIA

I tested ADLO on EPIA but it failed on the first try.

I grapped vgabios using your Makefile target and  modified loader.s to
enable 
shadow ram control registers of EPIA. 
However,  it hang around post code 0x96 and nothing is shown on the CRT.

Do you have any idea what 0x96 post code means. 
Is it a bochs post code or vgabios postcode?

ADLO for EPIA

[Adam Sulmicki]

it possibly may be bochs. Are both keyboard and mouse plugged in?

does it work without ADLO/BOCHS BIOS? ie can you run linux from LinuxBIOS
stanalone?
