Spent the whole day playing with options.
While getting more familiar with linux bios, I enabled PCI AGP & APIC
and the code seems to have executed just fine & dandy here. I also
tried enabling SMP, but seems it also needs MP code. But getting side
tracked. :-/
I also saw a minor problem with the ordering of addition/subtraction in
src/mainboard/tyan/s1846/Config.lb, the tyan/s2895 had specified a
different order... wasn't it, i think.
Also tried using lzma on file.elf.
Would love to see more debug output from elfboot. :-/
The patch looks good to me as is.
