[LinuxBIOS] EPIA-MII 12000, almost there. ( newbie )

[Per Mellander]

So I did some new testing today!

I created a kernel with serial console, tested it with my factory BIOS and it worked
alright.

Then I recompiled filo-0.5 with DEBUG_ALL=1

Did a new mkelfImage with the new kernel and same params as in the first test. (
earlyprintk etc.

When I boot my machine with the latest BIOS this is what happens:

And here it reboots... :(

I tried with:

boot: hda1:/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.19-i386-serial earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200,keep

which is my 'plain' kernel, but with same result.

Please anyone!

Still I can't get a LinuxBIOS without the additional video-bios cat'ed at the beginning
of my LB to boot at all. That is I can't manufacture a BIOS that won't initialize the
VGA. How to do a LinuxBIOS without the VGA-portion in it???
