Thanks for the info YH, it still just loops for ever, it's stuck in
crt0.s it puts out 0x10 to port 80 then seemingly resets.<br>
<br>
I tried the quartet board, it does better, it gets well into
hardwaremain(), but it does not display anything to the console.
It seems that text should be visable(the printk messages) after it
calls console_init(), is this correct? <br>
<br>
But there are different versions of console.c, console_init(), which
one is used for AMD? How do I get the printk text to be visable?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It's nice to hear you
have used SimNow to run LinuxBios on cheetah.<br>
<br>
I guess my message title was a bit miss leading, I'm not having problems with
SimNow itself. In Fact I can run the AMI bios, single step thru it and
even boot Fedora Core 5 linux on the simulated Serenade board in
SimNow. The trouble is when I try to run the LinuxBios that I
compiled, since this serenade board already exists in the LinuxBios configs, I
would have thought I could select it(thru buildtarget) and it would work, but I
must have missed something in the basic build procedure.<br>
<br>
I'll try to ask a couple clear questions: <br>
* Are the first few instructions executed after a reset(hard or soft) in
the source file s_start.S? <br>
* Do I need to explicitly do something to configure for VGA
initializations, or is that done since I'm using this existing serenade setup?</span></font></p>

<br>
I'm trying to get started with LinuxBios by using the AMD SimNow hardware<br>
simulator to run LinuxBios on a Serenade board. Once we have success with<br>
simulations, we will try it on real hardware. The Serenade board is one<br>
of the standard predefined boards that comes with the simulator. Once I compile<br>
serenade.rom and reference this file as the rom device connected to the<br>
8111(replacing the AMI BIOS file), I reboot but don't get too far into the new<br>
Linuxbios, I expected to see recognizable postcodes, such as 0x13 from<br>
c_start.S then 0x80, 0x39, 0x40 etc from hardwaremain(), but port 80 only
toggles<br>
between 00 and 0x10. I try to single step from 0xfffffff0 (or 0xfffbfff0) but<br>
dont see code that looks like c_start.S. Does something come before this?<br>
<br>
I must have built serenade.rom improperly: I did the following,<br>
buildtarget amd/serenade<br>
doneloaded filo.elf<br>
edited serenade/Config.lb to refer to the filo.elf as a payload<br>
make<br>
<br>
Any ideas would be appreciated.</span></font></p>
