If FILO is a payload in flash, then you need to set CONFIG_ROM_STREAM=1
and CONFIG_ROM_STREAM_START to the address you want to start looking
for the payload ELF header (usually just after the LinuxBIOS image).
CONFIG_IDE_STREAM is used to load a payload (such as FILO) from an
attached IDE device. This is useful if the flash is not large enough to
hold LinuxBIOS+payload, but is probably not what you are looking for.
Sorry for the confusion.

I use FILO as the payload to boot from a Hard Disk, which has a
installed linux on it. I noticed if I enabled the ide stream. It tries

should be the one to load the image from the IDE drive. When does it
come in and play the role?
Anyone can explain the flow of booting if I try to load the INSTALLED
linux from a IDE drive.
