I changed the Config.lb as YhLu recommanded and payload to filo, after some
struggle, I finally can boot Linux!!! Thanks!

However, my ethernet connection with LinuxBIOS are still no good. I get a
msg like this during boot:
----
Applying iptables firewall rules: [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present.  Check
cable?
[FAILED]
Bringing up interface eth1:
Determining IP information for eth1...PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84)
bytes of data.

--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2011ms
, pipe 3 failed.
[FAILED]

---

I know the hardware works because AMI bios can bring up the Ethernet fine.
Etherboot works with Linux BIOS also. Etherboot pulls the ethernet card,
right? if so, it will not use IRQ, even IRQ routed wrong, it will work. I'm
thinking the problem could come from the IRQ routing LinuxBIOS did, is that
sounds right to you guys?

IRQ routing info is stored in the MPTable, right? I wonder if there is a
tool to dump the MP table.

Thanks

Beneo
