[LinuxBIOS] trying to load a linux-tiny kernel on epia

[Ronald G Minnich]

I build a linux-tiny with serial console and do this:

  mkelfImage --command-line="console=ttyS0,19200 " 
arch/i386/boot/bzImage /tmp/linux.elf



Build the image, boot, get this:

and that's it. Seems all the segments load, but then ... no dice.

EARLY_PRINTK is enabled.

OK, anyone beat me to doing this? What have you seen?

thanks
