[LinuxBIOS] EPIA-MII 12000, almost there. ( newbie )

I used the stock FC4 kernel with the same command line as you used. My
autoboot was just hdb1:/linux_2.6.16.elf (I have a CD-ROM as hda)

Good luck,

Myles

Now I get so far that the kernel is identified and loaded but then it breaks
:(

I created an elf with mkelfImage:

# mkelfImage --kernel=/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 --output=/vmlinuz.elf
--initrd=/initrd-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.img --command-line="ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
quiet
console=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200"

I get the same result when I try,

AUTOBOOT_FILE = "hda1:/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/hda1
console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200"

so the problem is not in the elf image.

Could you please send me a snippet from your AUTOBOOT or similar?

Btw. Do I have to make a 'special' kernel to make this work or should the
stock FC5 work?
