We are working with nVidia to get approval to release Ck804 support, too.
We have SATA working. Which peripherals do you have working?

Subject: [LinuxBIOS] About Nvidia chipset support
All,
Finally I get the approval for releasing Nvidia chipset support for Ck804. I
hope end user to press nvidia to release more info to make sata and on die
lan work.
The problem my code is messed up dual core support etc. I need some time to
split them up.
I will commit soon about
Nvidia CK804 support
smbus bus number support (to handle multi sumbus and mux)
superio smsc 47 support
Tyan S2895/S2891/S2892 support
flash_rom Ck804 support
maybe two months later after AMD issue auth letter or put dual core on
public
AMD D0/E0 Opteron new mem mapping support
AMD E Opteron dual core support
AMD E Opteron mem hole support
AMD K8 Four Ranks DIMM support
Regards
YH

And where is a good place to buy them, if I am in Europe?
Can I just go to a computer shop and say "give me a Tyan motherboard
with Linuxbios"?
What was this about Tyan announcing having Linuxbios for all new
mainboards? Do I remember correctly?
Which is the cheapest Tyan mainboard which runs Linuxbios?

memory speed downgrade is only need if you have
8 dimm 4g installed with 400Mhz, and it should be set to 266Mhz.....
8 dimm 2g installed with 400Mhz, and it should be set to 333Mhz.....
Do we have such MB to be supportd except 4 rank dimm?

I have see not played with the fast boot stuff from VIA.
I had that error before. It is because of a rebuilding of Linux BIOS's
config structure. Go look at the configs for the Tyan boards, most of those
are up to date. As of last week the EPIA-MII is still broken. The
southbridge is not working, yet. I hope to see a few in the next few days.
USB and CF are the same speed. Keep in mind that USB has more over head.
They are both based of the same technology. The current fastest Flash chips
on the market are moving at 20MB/sec. I have see these in both USB and CF.
I have an Sandisk Extream III 1GB CF that moves at 20MB/sec.
I have my 1GB CF pluged into my EPIA-MII throught the IDE bus. I use that
for about half of my linux system and my hibernation file. I like the speed
it gives. The CF also does not have a spin up time. If I/we can get
Linuxbios working... The system will be powered up and done with linux bios
befor the disk will be done spining up, CF does not have this issue.
Hope this help

What about grub legacy and grub 2?
That's right.
Some MB can work with 4G 4 ranks DIMM in 400Mhz in 4 slots.

Processing mainboard/digitallogic/adl855pc (i386: ok, we're amd64)
Creating config file... ok
Creating builddir...ok
Compiling image ..ok.
Hmmm its NOT amd64 here, its Pentium-M. but the problem is that I still cant
build it :(
What distubution and/or addons do you use to compile this:
freebios--devel--2.0--patch-29.tar.bz2
Im have tried on 3 versions not, and it would still not compile...
any ideas? How does the autobuild work?

http://snapshots.linuxbios.org/ is up and running with the tla tree and
now provides a link to the autobuild log of each release.
