For LinuxBIOS support, besides mkelfImage, We still need cmos_util... We may can separate these stuff in two location 1. kernel + initrd( with busybox as shell) --- with this we can access all media. (I don't want to use udev) 2. final kernel. mkelfImage. Cmos_util....

Let's hope. One step at a time. A lot of the tiny kernel work has been merged into linus's tree for 2.6.16. I think the interesting linuxbios related kboot activities are. 1) Hook mkelfImage into the build so we will easily have an image that we can use with linuxbios. 2) Figure out how to use kboot on host nodes :) Video now works on a good day. And then there is my very evil plan spam the kboot list on topic discussion :) Eric -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
