Hmmm, not completely true i'm afraid. When booting a cold systen it will not come up.
When i switch to my fallback rom it boots, now i switch back to the image that was not
booting and now it boots just fine.

So i was a little premature with my earlier mail.

I added the boot log in pastebin http://pastebin.com/g83qwpnj

Hi kevin,

I found out what the problem was; my development system was using the wrong toolchain.

I will build a new patch and compress it and put it on the mailing list. I will make the necessary
changes, to go from config.h to Kconfig. So there will be no duality on the configuration.

I moved out already the "BIG" banners and made them like more files in your project.

Thanks Marc.

Your patch was too large for the mailing list.  Can you put future
versions online somewhere or send compressed?

I really don't like these big copyright banners.  I don't see much
point in copyrighting a header file.  SeaBIOS is LGPLv3, and all core
files must use that copyright.

This doesn't apply to non-core files copied from other projects, so
doesn't need to be true for tools/kconfig.

Also, your first patch modifies seabios, but I thought you were going
to do that in patch2?  I don't see a reason to have old way and new
way in parallel - lets just go right to the kconfig way.  The way
you've introduced configh.h, configu.h, and configk.h in addition to
the existing config.h is confusing.

Can you explain what this does?
