Hello,
I want to change my BIOS from AWARD BIOS to LinuxBIOS
I have a MSI MS6330 Mainboard with a AthlonXP1800+ CPU and and 3 PC133-3-3-3 SDRAMs (see also x1800ctb, which is a Output from ctbios)
Here is my lspci -vvv:

I think my SuperIO Chip is integrated in the Southbridge.
My BIOS flash device is a EON EN29F002NT-70J(0112C-B861C)
The boards URL is
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=...
Could you please tell me, wheter there is any chance to run LinuxBIOS on this board ?
Thank you very much !
