	 Hi,
	   
	       Is there any version support the onboard ATI - Rage XL?
	       Is there any version support a add-on ATI - Rage XL?
	       Do I need to change something in the configuration file?

	Please get the Etherboot 5.2.6.
	 
	You need to use patch for 2.4.22 and only enable ati rage xl
framebuffer.

	Great, It solved the problem.
	About the etherboot I try to run with 5.2.6 version as you said
(enable BTEXT) and It is not working.
	It stack in:  Jumping to LinuxBIOS
	When I use the 5.2.5 version that you sent me before It work.
	Command: Make bin/r8169.zelf
	 
	Now the elf image is loading and there is no respond from the
VGA.. 
	The kernel parameter is: console=tty0.
	Maybe I didn't patch the kernel with the correct patch file.
	Where can I get the patch of the kernel supporting ATI Ragexl?
	 I am using 2.4.24 kernel version.
	 
	Thanks,
	Sagiv

	In the targest/tyan/s2850/Config.lb
	Change
	            option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=0x10000
	to
	        option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=0x11800
	        option XIP_ROM_SIZE=0x20000

	I have this definition in targets/tyan/s2850/Config.lb:
	option CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
	Not default as you wrote.
	Is it ok? 
	 
	Should I had the same thing in
src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb?

	You need to add
	 
	uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT
	 
	default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1
	 
	dir /drivers/ati/ragexl
	 
	after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios after vga init.
	 
	You also need to enable the btext in Etherboot. You should use
Etherboot 5.2.6. it includes filo and btext console.
	 
	About kernel, you need to use kernel patch to enable ragexl
frame buffer support.

	Hello, 
	         I am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is
running with console.
	         I add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200" and I
have linux which runs with console.
	         
	How can I run with VGA? Should I add some code to the bios? 
	 
	         The VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.
	Sagiv
