I'm trying to get a Clearwater 533 board up (the SuperMicro X5DPL-IGM) without success. Or well, there's probably success, but I wouldn't know about it because the serial port throws out only question marks and periods :)
The only time I see anything is when i reboot into LinuxBIOS from the original BIOS, though its just the Restarting system. Copying LinuxBIOS to ram. Jumping to LinuxBIOS. LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Fri Aug 8 02:27:40 EDT 2003 rebooting... ..?.?.?????.?.????..??????.?.?.???.??.?.??????.??.?????.?.?.???????? and so on..
Therefore, I believe the problem is the Winbond SuperI/O. The product number is W83627HF-AW and perhaps that's somewhat different than the W83627HF. So my question is, does anyone know where a datasheet for W83627HF-AW can be found (it's not among those offered at winbond.com), know someone at winbond i could talk to, or have any further insights on the matter?
