Thanks to all,
I've got concatened both files by hand, I'll try use buildrom next
time, it looks easier. The boot got normal until the southbridge setup, it
seems to stop on the usart setup. I'll investigate more later.
Best Regards,
Otávio Alcântara

Yes you need VSA2 in the ROM. You can use buildrom in advance mode to <br>> set a \
local linuxbios tree. Buildrom pulls the VSA binary from here:<br>> <a \
