[LinuxBIOS] Success report on VIA EPIA-M10000

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello all,

just wanted to report that I have gotten my EPIA-M10000 to boot 
LinuxBIOS 2184, then FILO 0.4.2, then Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.12 into X 
without problems.
This time round (for learning purposes) I extracted the VGA BIOS from 
the BIOS upgrade file, and not from a running EPIA. (Still note that 
there is an error in the EPIA HOWTO about how to extract the VGA BIOS 
from memory. -- See my messages of the past few days for context.)

For completeness, here is a small diff, plus an adapted Makefile that 
made this work.

Thanks for all the work you guys have put into it.

Next up is inclusion of the ACPI table.

Regards,

Leon.
