I have the same board. Works well with LinuxBIOS v1. AFAIK there is currently no v2 support for SiS boards like the K7SEM.
few questions, maybe somebody could answer them to me and give me a helping hand?
Is it possible to use a 2.6 kernel?
Yes, works here. The kernel patches with v1 are only for 2.4 kernels. They are not neccessary, but perhaps useful, so i ported them to 2.6 a while ago. See here http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2004-July/008446.html
Is it possible to use the original bios chip?
Try to get a DiskOnChip Millenium (NOT a DoC 2000). Although they are not produced anymore ;-( Does anyone know if the DoC Millenium Plus (has a boot capability) is also sufficient?
And how do I configure and build it with these options, if it is possible?
There is a K7SEM HOWTO in the sources.
The last time i checked the CVS, it was broken for K7SEM. Try this patch for a workaround http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-August/004354.html
