I have linuxbios partly working on this GX1/CS5530 based mainboard.
I created a mainboard/fabiatech/fb2510 directory and copied the files from mainboard/advantech/pcm-5823.
In Config, I changed all references to FDC37B72x to FDC37B78x (By the way superio/SMC/FDC37B78x/superio.c reports itself as FDC37B72x). Everything else I left the same. I based the build config off config.example, changing the payload from eepro100.ebi to rtl8139.elf (there was no make target for bin/rtl8139.ebi in Etherboot 5.1.7).
I tried to run getpir on the FB2510 under the existing Award Bios, but it failed to find a valid PCI IRQ Routing table. I include the output below.
I went ahead and built linuxbios (using the irq_tables.c from pcm-5823) and programmed the FB2510's flash with the resulting romimage. Booting with this romimage was quite successful up until configuring the com port. Booting freezes right after this point.

Actually originally it would only print "io" from the last line. Looking in superio.c I found that the comments said initialization should be happening before enabling, but in the code it was happening the other way around. Looking in FDC7B72x it was done in the init then enable order with a delay(1) between the init and enable. So I went ahead and made that change in FDC7B72x/superio.c. After that I got the above output.
I'm guessing this problem is because my irq routing table is not being properly configured. Is this a good guess? How else can I get the information to put in irq_table.c?
