Yip, I have start the system with vga=normal and taken a fresh vga.bios extracted with awardeco from the original factory bios. (The old one was definitivly corrupt) btw. flashbios seems unable to handle WINBOND W29C020 ./testbios --abseg /dev/mem -s 32768 aw512n.bin I get 3 columns of output, which stops after 1-2 seconds The screen seems froozen, but at the bottom I have 3 blinking "cursors" I can do what I want, only a Hardreset takes effect ;) I will try to pipe the output, but this is hard on a readonly filesystem :D chris -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
