[LinuxBIOS] trying to boot Gigabyte M575SLI

Hello everybody!

Encouraged by the reported success with the Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 
(Many thanks to all contributers!), I started to try this board as well.
I followed ST's instructions with the 2nd socket and the pull-down/switch. 
This worked quite fine for me. Two things can perhaps be added to ST's
instructions/wiki: 
   
- I used a 100k standard resistor (no SMD!)
- the pull-down current to ground is in both cases about 0.033mA.

This is consistent with Ohm's law: I=U/R=3.3V/100kOhm=0.033mA for the added 
chip. It shows that the soldered chip is pulled up also with a 100kOhm 
resistor and no other chip should be damaged by that(?). Reading and writing
works without problems on both chips.


Now I started with LinuxBIOS following Wards wiki, but no success yet.
Perhaps I missed something stupid as usual for newcomers.

My boot partition is sda5 in Linux, so in filo I have to use:
MENULST_FILE = "hde5:/boot/grub/menu.lst"? 
(Looks as if I do not get that far yet, see below...)
 
I compiled anything (filo, LinuxBios) on amd64 (Debian testing, default gcc),
could this be an issue?

CPU: AMD64 AthlonX2 4800+ EE    is that a problem that needs special work? 

I was able to hook up a serial console, see below. Unfortunately I do not 
remember the difference in the configuration between Normal and Fallback bios.
(I prepared the filo.elf files without being able to check with serial console.
But filo comes in much later??)
 
Thanks,

	Andi
