OK, One more question, would the messages come up on the console if I do not the initialize Graphical Controller HUB. There is an option in the LinuxBIOS for VGA_CONSOLE or SERIAL_CONSOLE to display messages on the screen. Would VGA_CONSOLE be OK without the above initialization. Could one please elaborate on this.

There seems to be two devices in Intel 82810e north bridge, one is
Memory controller Hub and other is Graphical controller HUB. Is it OK to just do the initialization for Memory controller HUB and forget about Graphical controller HUB.
I think so.
Also, I saw 82815ep on linuxbios tree, which has support for MCH only and no AGP. This is very much similar to 82810e with some address changed.
I don't think this hardware is at all well tested, so if you can fix it, we would be grateful.
