<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We have developed – basically a clone of the DB800 Amd
Geode LX800 reference system.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We have an LX800, CS5536, SST04 LPC Flash (512KB) and a
compact flash card – 1GB.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The system is booting Ubuntu 6.10 using a commercial BIOS.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have downloaded the corebios and wish to get it running on
our board. I have been able to download it, configured with FILO and its almost
working.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What I want it to do is boot into the GRUB sector of the
compact flash card and then allow grub to let me select what linux kernel/etc
to boot.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><br>
When corebios loads FILO, filo says “mounting FAT” and it cannot
find our grub sectors/etc on the compact flash card. Shouldn’t this be
EXT2 that it mounts.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have adjusted the configs for FILO to attempt to remove
FAT, but it still keeps coming up. Seems like I a missing something pretty
simple.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><br>
Can anyone point me to a reference on how to configure the latest corebios/FILO
package to boot into an IDE compact flash (the compact flash card is right on
the IDE bus of the CS5536).</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><br>
Also – doesn’t have to be FILO. I saw etherboot can boot to IDE as
well. I just want a BIOS so I can alter the memory timings/etc and jump to my
compact flash card for booting. So whatever is easiest.</span></font></p>
