Here is what I have done. Perhaps you have insight into the problem.
in the filo Config file: AUTOBOOT_FILE = "hda1:/epia.vmlinuz root...."
Could you enable DEBUG_ALL, and also add a line "E2DEBUG = 1" to Config (if the kernel is on ext2/3 fs.
Ok so this is embarrassing, somehow I had a stray old boot partition that had the image on it
but not the others... I figured that part out after it could boot without there being the file
there at all... took a look at the partition table and such... Anyway so it is now booting with
VGABIOS and FRAMEBUFFER etc... I can load the epiafb and get a console FB working. The problem I had
after this (this is the second time I go through this... I want to really understand what I'm doing)
I couldn't run any of the DirectFB example apps... I bet this has to do with those extended registers
that we're missing... I will be getting the different lspci register dumps to compare the regular
AWARD bios settings and the linuxbios vga settings.
