Hi,
I am working on Tyan S2865 (CK804 based). Probably time I post a patch to go into the tree.
Working:
single DIMM memory slot PC400 DDR ECC 1 of 4 PCI slots PS/2 kerboard and mouse both onboard NICs, audio, usb, IDE 1 of 4 SATA ports (correcting mptable irq should bring up a 2nd port) atyfb, serial port all 3 PCI-e slots (2 x1 and one x16) flashrom, has PLCC32 LPC flash, southbridge supports 4MB tops i2c hardware monitor (DME1737 patch from lm-sensors mailing list)
Not working:
some sata ports, 3 PCI slots don't generage interrupts (but work for matrox millenium II PCI graphics card) onboard firewire hardware watchdog (DME1737 - i need to port driver for Linux) MSI interrupts (uses INTx mode) ACPI/PowerNow
Untested:
floppy parallel 2nd serial
I agree it would be great to have a variety of single processor/inexpensive/fairly modern boards supported.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi,
there's been lots of talk about support for a modern and/or cheap desktop board in the past.
I think our best bet at the moment is to support many K8+CK804 and K8+MCP55 boards. Is anybody out there already (or still) working on such a mainboard at the moment? Any preliminary patches? I'm thinking about getting one such board, but I don't want to duplicate any work someone else might already have put into writing code...
