I've been seen many requests in the archives for a LinuxBios on N2200 (aka 8363) and apparently when I contacted them, none of them were able to successsfully installed the linuxbios. Before attempting to do the same, I would like to confirm with the experts like Ron for the possibilty. Herewith is some information regarding the N2200 (Geode GX1, CX5530 companion chip).
The Geodes need special setup for each hardware implementation. There's no real standard way to connect lots of things, and there are many choices made by the hardware designer which needs to be reflected in software.
So unless someone has added support for this particular Geode+companion deisgn the fact that other designs with the same chips work unfortunately does not matter.
We'd love to see even more supported though, we welcome everyone to contribute. I thought I'd take a look at the soekris boards sometime, but my time is scarce. :(
