Hi,
I have access to an old GA-6BXC motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID...) which I'll probably use for my first steps with LinuxBIOS.
I see that FreeBIOSv1 had support for this motherboard, but not v2. Is there some technical reason for this?
The looser that did that work dropped off the planet and hasn't been heard from for quite some time. ;-)
I'll probably try v1 first,
Be careful. The ram init is hard coded to support only 2 ram configurations. I don't recall what other limitations may exist. That is some VERY old work from a much earlier time in LinuxBios history.
but I'd like to move to v2 sooner or later. Should I get another motherboard or can I try to port the code to v2? How much effort does that require, usually?
You might be better off with v2 but using some of the v1 code as a reference.
Cheers! Ty
