About the serial console, did you verify the connection by enabling
serial console on /etc/inittab?

Here is the info:

when running flash_rom -vw linuxbios.rom, I get
.....
Part is SST49LF004A/B
Programming Page: 0007 at address: 0x00070000
Verifying address: VERIFIED

Memory of the machine with linuxbios installed is of
size 1GB.

I tired compiling on two machines with two different
kernels. 
2.6.11.4-20a-default (SuSE 9.3 on a uniprocessor
desktop)  
2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp (Fedora Core 1 on IWILL DK8S.)
Both kernels are 32-bit. 

The machine that I install linuxbios has a kernel of 
64 bit 2.6.5-7.97-smp #1 SMP (SuSE SLES9)
