Hi,
I'm trying to boot an AMD Elan520 board without bios with kernel 2.4.0-test10 configured for i486 and PCI direct access. This kernel boots correctly from HD using the bios provided with the evaluation board but kernel 2.4.0-test8 and previous hang after "Ok booting the kernel". Currently I have the SDRam configured, the PCI peripherals initialized (with AMD code), the GDT loaded in RAM and the CPU in 32 bit mode. The empty_zero_page is configured with the RAM and a command line (using code from LinuxBios and kernel startup). I decompress directly from rom to 0x100000 the kernel image and then I jump there. The last message I see is "Calibrating delay loop" (I see this thaks to the Jtag debugger for Elan520 because I haven't configured the VGA board yet).
May somebody enumerate the requirements to boot the kernel I mean the peripherals,system configuration etc.
Thankyou.
