[LinuxBIOS] No VGA with EPIA-MII 6000

I am getting to grips with flashing my bios. I have followed the
documentation in the EPIA_M HOWTO and I have flashed a couple bios'es
and my epia still works, so far so good. I do not want a serial console
(I have the serial port connected to the car, so I dont want stuff going
down there), but I would like a VGA console. I copied the
Config.vga.filo as it comes from svn to Config.lb (just changing the
path to filo.elf), but I get this after running buildtarget, then make:
"XIP_ROM_BASE is not a multiple of XIP_ROM_SIZE"
make[1]: *** [auto.inc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/scott/ibus/bios/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/via/epia-m/epia-m/normal'
make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1
So I went back to my Config.lb which did work (but with no VGA) and I
changed:
< option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=1
---
> option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=0
> option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
in an attempt to turn off serial console and turn on the VGA console,
this builds fine, and boots, but with no VGA output. I think I am
missing a trick here?
Anyone have a Config file for the EPIA M II 6000 with VGA enabled?
My Config file is below:
# Sample config file for EPIA-M
# This will make a target directory of ./epia-m
target epia-m
mainboard via/epia-m
option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8
option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=0
option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
option ROM_SIZE=256*1024
option HAVE_OPTION_TABLE=1
option CONFIG_ROM_STREAM=1
option HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT=1
