If I use irqpoll commandline switch, the system seems to work properly but there are still IRQ related issues.
That is fine. With a running target like this you will be able to create a valid irq routing table. Documentation how to do I will send in a separated mail.
Where can I get this kernel patch?
Attached.
doesn't work: VGA,
Not even with geodefb?
I wasn't aware of the driver existed. I loaded the driver but the VGA is still not on. I will read documents of the driver.

Hmmm, should work. Don't know why it fails in your system.
i've given up setting up the VSA for the Geode. Is there any workaround or any other thing we could use to enable VGA?
Do not use any VSA. You really not need it.
I'm lost here... :)
The VGA is not a priority for me as the main function for this board is being a router. Only the serial port really matters and that one is already working.
Besides, if the VGA is not enabled, the board is more power efficient (not that is matters, it's more like an excuse)
Sure.
Reset(rebooting hangs the machine)
Dunno about this one.
CONFIG_X86_REBOOTFIXUPS=y in ther kernel config fixed the problem.
Ack.
My board does not reboot as well (a reset is needed) i'll investigate it also.
My system reboots since my first try to run LinxuBIOS on it. So I have no idea what could be going wrong within your hardware.
I can send you my whole embedded project. It contains graphics (special framebuffer driver and Xorg, both with acceleration), audio (not finished yet), irq-routing table (but for my hardware only) and a build system to build a cross compiler and the root filesystem, kernel and LinuxBIOS.
I'm also interested in it, i'll contact you off list to sort out how I could get it.
You are welcome.
BTW, how good is it when decoding video streams?
Due to the lack of video hardware (no NTSC/PAL decoder) in my system: No idea, sorry.
