Most of it is empty space. When the ELF gets unpacked, it doesn't take that much space. > I didnt put VGA bios so far into the coreboot.rom. Have you tried using a separate graphics card?

I thought if you did a 'make clean' it deleted the .xcompile file. > What are your advice for the next steps ? I would add a Video card or put the VGA BIOS into coreboot.rom. Whichever one you find easier. Thanks, Myles -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
