For v2 use a global option in Option.lb, something like: uses USE_LEGACYBIOS ## ## Build code for LegacyBIOS support ## 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled ## default USE_LEGACYBIOS = 1 and then before and after your code use a preprocessing directive: #if USE_LEGACYBIOS Insert LegacyBIOS code here #endif Hope that helps:-) Thanks, Joseph Smith Set-Top-Linux www.settoplinux.org -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
