My terminal setup is right since I actually give the reboot command
through the serial connection.

I just put the linuxbios.rom I build for the EPIA on an actual VIA
EPIA-V we have here. It boots up to this point:

Then it starts to constantly repeat this:

I've tried different payloads but the same stuff happens. Anything I can
do about this?

Also, I've checked out the freebios(1) source and build an EPIA rom from
this and this does probably boot with the same filo payload and actually
boots a linux kernel and works, yay!

Also2, the cvs checkout of today still give this error on building:

/opt/linuxbios/freebios2/src/arch/i386/boot/pirq_routing.c: In function `check_pirq_routing_table':
/opt/linuxbios/freebios2/src/arch/i386/boot/pirq_routing.c:21: error: assignment of read-only variable `intel_irq_routing_table'
/opt/linuxbios/freebios2/src/arch/i386/boot/pirq_routing.c:42: error: assignment of read-only member `checksum'
make[1]: *** [pirq_routing.o] Error 1

I 'solved' this by commenting out the two lines, but I'm sure this is
not right. Any proper way to solve this?
