Yes, thanks, the code in ipl.S was not being included, which reads the spds and does some other important chipset setup for the sis630. This code is a little odd when booting from flash, since it is (apparently) setup to run in real mode at a hardcoded address in flash, prior to the rest of the startup code. I changed it to run in 32-bit mode and put it in the .inc stack after the console setup and now the motherboard works. -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
