I'm using this :  

option CONFIG_VGABIOS=1
option CONFIG_REALMODE_IDT=1
option CONFIG_PCIBIOS=1

but now it doesn't compile anymore with this error: 

linuxbios_c.o: In function `biosint':
linuxbios_c.o(.text+0x1587): undefined reference to `pcibios'

The makefile doesn't seem to have any references to it after running
NLBconfig, so I will try to add it manually. Any other tips ? 

Thanks ,
