I gathered from the wiki that linux cant handle a totally uninitialized pci bus and that linux is close to doing that. Im trying to read the pci sources in hopes of being able to make linuxbios work with my kt600 motherboard. So if linux 2.6.17 can already initialize a totally uninitialized kt600 pci bus then i might start playing with linuxbios. all thats left is figuring out how to initialize the dram controller.
LinuxBIOS will set up your PCI devices correctly. The big question is how to get dram working indeed.
Well thats great.
Can you provide an lspci output to the list?
Yes when i get home.
