Kernel for linuxbios

[Sagiv Yefet]

I add the console support and there is output. Thanks.

My machine has no disks and I need initrd. So I took initrd from
Thinstation and build the elf file by the command : 

./objdir/sbin/mkelfImage -t bzImage-i386 --kernel=/home/sagivy/bzImage	
	--command-line="rw console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0"  
	--ramdisk=/home/sagivy/initrd --output=/home/sagivy/bzImage.elf

and I got panic message:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 11922k freed
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00

I also had ram disk support.

Any idea?

Sagiv.

No, all Linux kernels work fine.

No. No patches needed at all.

The biggest problem is the low availability of crystal balls nowadays ;)

Maybe you did not compile your kernel with serial console support or did
not  enable serial console on the command line?
