<pre wrap="">Alternatively, what flash chip are you using? I don't know about your
EPIA 5000, but my EPIA V came with a 256 KiB flash chip from the
factory, and I bought a 512 KiB one that I'm playing with. That means,
however, that when I'm making a 256 KiB LinuxBIOS flash image, I have to
make sure to prepend it with 256 KiB of padding, to ensure that it hits
the top of the address space.

I have a bios savour installed which has the original bios in it and I
am using the on-board flash for linuxbios. Both are 256k (39SF020A)
part.

I see, then that's probably not it. I'm "hotplugging" the BIOS chips by
hand.

Since you're using SDRAM, I cannot imagine there being any larger
differences, but just for reference, my board has a VT8601A northbridge
and a VT8231 southbridge. If your board are using the same, then I guess
that they are at least functionally equivalent.

I think we are talking about the same board. I have once of these.<br>

I believe there was also an 800Mhz version although I am not sure if
that had the same chipset. According to VIA's website my board has the
VT8601A northbridge and the VT8231 southbridge.<br>
<br>
Anyway I think I am probably doing something wrong with the build. Do
you mind if I ask what process you followed to build linuxbios ?<br>
