Yippee!!
four Matsonic motherboards arrived care of Eurocom LA
4 weeks after I ordered them, Australian customs couldn't tell
the difference between motherboards and drugs so they just
kept them.
I followed the Howto, to the letter (had to fix up a few errors
in burn_mtd script, flash_on instead of flash_rom, missing
insmod docecc.o, conv=notrunc for dd).
Flashed the DoC millenium with docipl, linuxbios.block and
vmlinux.bin.gz.block with no problems, rebooted, linuxbios
fired up thru the serial port ok, jump to boot code, No Go.
brief DEBUG output:
Jumping to linuxbiosmain()...
Welcome to start32, the open sourced starter.
This space will eventually hold more diagnostic information.

Version 0.1
output data is 0x00100000
Making CRC
Gunzipping boot code
using custom command line - []
Command Line ... root=/dev/hda1 console=ttyS0 single
IO APIC not responding. <--------------------- would this be a problem
Jumping to boot code
I checked the last few instructions in linuxbiosmain.o for
correct byte patterns, for the jump to kernel:
movl $0x90000, %esi ----> be 00 00 09 00
movl $0, %ebx ------------> bb 00 00 00 00
ljmp $0, $0x100000 ------> ea 00 00 10 00
all seems according to specs,
I put in some code to check the kernel is located at
0x100000, it's there.
has any one else had linuxBIOS 2.4-test12 going on the Matsonic
630 board, I'm at a bit of a loss as what to do next,
The kernel is on the DoC and is moved to memory ok, would
the "APIC not responding" cause a problem, does the
kernel put it's output thru the serial port as well, the frame buffer is
in the kernel I checked with a boot disk.
have I done something wrong or is there a problem??
