I'am only talking for the Geode: 1. There is no IPL for the geode in the cvs tree. The code that initialize the Geode memory in the cvs tree could only be executed from the ROM. 2. It seems that someone has work on the the Millenium Plus (there is a lot of DOC_MIL_PLUS everywhee) but if you define this flag and try to compile you will get a "doc_mil_plus.inc: No such file or directory". 3. I think that the routines in the docmil_fill_inbuf do not work with the Millenium Plus, I'll have to investagate why. I replace functions in this file by some code that we have here. > > Do you use the XFree86 driver from National on your Geode-bases systems ? > >we don't use VGA yet. You can help me there. I'am working on it this week. I'll let you know how things turn out. But I need to boot properly before. Do you know a way the convert the vmlinuz that is in my /boot directory in a format that can be used by LinuxBios ? Yves
