r2923 build service

Dear LinuxBIOS readers!

This is the automated build check service of LinuxBIOS.

The developer "uwe" checked in revision 2923 to
the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following 
changes:

Change Log:
Use the preferred order of 'static const' instead of 'const static'.
This is the common style in both Linux as well as in LinuxBIOS.

Self-ack as this is pretty trivial and a similar patch was already acked.

Oh thank you very much for merging Patrick Georgi's work. I think he did
a really great job.

What about
- the outstanding fixes for grub-mkimage
- linuxbios table support
- proper serial console handling
- larfs support
- (rom) support?

Yes, we'll be glad to do this as soon as LinuxBIOS is properly supported
by GRUB2.

Thanks for working so hard on Patricks code to make it happen.

I'm not familiar with QNX, but it seems like on grub-pc it's loaded via
chainloader.  Normaly this means it uses BIOS calls; this is not the case
here?

In that case it would make sense to enable the chainloader command.  I was
under the impression it would only be useful on BIOS.

Yes, thanks to Patrick Georgi who did this as a Google Summer of Code
project.

Kudos to him for the great job. Without Patrick, LinuxBIOS wouldn't be
where it is now.

See the official GRUB2 on LinuxBIOS page for information about it, it's
been there for a couple of months:

Oh, I have been following the page on the wiki, but I was under the

mptable util not working?

Hello,
I am having prolems with the mptable utility. I keeps telling me "MP  
FPS NOT found, suggest trying -grope option!!!". If I try the grope  
option it still spits out the same message. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks - Joe

When I get this error, it is because my ROM_IMAGE_SIZE is set too
small. Increasing it fixes the problem for me.
