What about the other two chipsets I mentioned: Intel 945GM and AMD LX800 Is the AMD LX800 booting properly?
AMD LX is working for Indrek Kruusa on one model board. (see the mail archive) His last mail to me said he had quite a few changes in his tree, and they are missing from the LB tree since they are not generic.
I can provide our source for Geode LX if needed. VSA should be obtained from AMD. And I still have the plan to merge our changes with mainline....
LX also requires the VSA binary blob for your platform, which is, in general, not available.
For VGA your need the VGA ROM from AMD. If you can live without bootsplash and run Xorg at the end then you can omit VGA/VESA support. Xorg has Geode LX native driver in separate git tree.
cheers, Indrek
If you are intending to create a commercial LX platform with LB, you need to solve that problem. A partial GX VSA was open-sourced for OLPC. LX VSA source is not available.
I know, this question is not of great interest. Is it possible right now to boot an old Operating System like Windows XP using ADLO and effectively use it afterwards (except of the ACPI)?
No, this is not working right now. There is lots of lore about this, but I haven't seen evidence of anyone ever booting XP from LinuxBIOS. 2k and earlier, maybe, but that is all.
