Strange, I get a 404 at
http://www.linuxbios.org/cgi-bin/linuxbios/help.cgi when I click the
'submit form' button.
Anyhow, here's my information.
I have a 'Lex CV860A' which is untested at
http://www.linuxbios.org/status/index.html.
The flash device is a "AMIC A29002".
I tried the freebios/src/mainboard/lex/cv860a/example.config with both a
memtest86+ payload and filo payload.
At first this does not compile due to what seems to be something that
was forgotten in the freebios/src/southbridge/via/vt82c686/southbridge.c
file.

After flashing the machine does not boot or give any output over the
serial port.
We have a nullmodem cable from the ttyS0 to another machine which I'm
sure is functioning because the linuxkernel and getty are able to work
over it.
I have added 'option SERIAL_POST=1' to the configfile and retried but
still nothing appears on the serial line.
Anything else I can try to debug this problem?
