From what I've read on Via's site the EPIAs use a 2/4Mbit ROM, what is the limiting factor as to how big the ROM can be?

My mistake, I'm thinking of the 8Mb ROMs I use for other mainboards. Can an EPIA take a SST49LF080? Those aren't too expensive, and you can fit a decent-sized 2.6 kernel alongside LinuxBIOS on one.

If you want a stripped kernel to fit alongside LinuxBIOS on your BIOS ROM, you can do that as well (Look at targets/arima/hdama/Config.kernelimage.lb for an example).
Last time I looked (or "googled" rather) it was not possible to squeeze a kernel (plus linuxBios) into a 2 megabit bios rom. Has this changed or are you talking about mobos with bigger roms?
Thanks, Larry
