Hello,
Does or will LinuxBIOS support my motherboard? It's an Abit AV8 - socket 939, Athlon64 3200, VIA K8T800 Pro / VT8327 chipset. Video via AGP slot Radeon 9250. Manufacturer link: http://abit-usa.com/products/mb/techspec.php?categories=1&model=175

SuperIO chipset is Winbond W83627HF-AW.
I'm really not sure about the BIOS chip. There's a chip that _might_ be the BIOS (it has an Abit mGURU sticker on it). It's square, soldered directly to the motherboard, and has >10 thin legs on each of the four sides. According to your FAQ that probably makes it a PLCC but I'm really not qualified to judge this.

I'm also looking to build a new system soon. What motherboards are known to work with LinuxBIOS that have: socket AM2, PCI express, no embedded video unless it's got free drivers?

Thanks a lot,
