Hi,

Although I know, LinuxBIOS != VIA fastboot (and mainly
closed source), I have no idea where can I get answer to my
question (There was no success on Via forum or Google).

Since LinuxBIOS can not be compile for EPIA-MII I tried to
reach my aim with fastboot (2.03). After a few hours, it
seems that system is not so far from ready, but
unfortunately still not finished. On the serial debug line I
got the following info:

But after this there is no any activity. Can anybody help?
(Maybe this question is off-topic but I think there are
other people who tried fastboot like me).

Thx,

Sza2
