first attempt... almost. :-)

[Andrew Kohlsmith]

I cut the trace, enabled flash and flashed it.  I'm now the proud owner of a 
doorstop.  :-)  

At the end of this email is a paste from the serial log.  It boots, says it 
jumps to RAM, my HDD light flickers (I'm using the BOOT_IDE flag) and then it 
starts over again.  

A couple of questions:  Is it saying it's happy with the system RAM?  I do not 
have a kernel image at the location I said it would be at in the config file, 
which is why I _think_ that it is rebooting, but I thought there'd be some 
kind of log message stating something to that effect.

My other question is one I probably already know the answer to: is there a 
serial-port flash util in LinuxBIOS?  It's not a big big deal, I knew the 
risks going in to this but I'd like to try and get around desoldering a TQFP 
part and buying the adaptor (and socket) if I can help it.  These 
motherboards were only $10, it seems silly to spend hundreds to reflash it.  
:-)

(and yeah, the date is right... it's been over a month since I've been really 
working on it.  :-)

Regards,
Andrew
