Hopefully you can spot something in the logs.
Could you try what Kevin did, and install XP on your factory BIOS (ideally with ACPI disabled) and then try and boot that image with SeaBIOS? >From going through a few x86 cpu and chipset turn-ons, I know that in general, debugging OS boot of a full installation is usually much easier than trying to debug the installation process of an OS. There are less obstacles to booting an already-installed image, and there are much more tools available for debugging the aleady-installed OS. Once you get that working, you can go back to debugging the CD. It would be interesting to see if your platform has the same sort of success that Kevin got on the epia. Maybe your different graphics controller will work even better. -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
