Hello all,
What is the status of the i865 memory controller?

That chipset as a whole is (currently) unsupported, however plans to
support it are there.
RAM init is work in progress, another developer and I have a total of
three i865 boards. Since RAM init is the hardest part, and we don't
work on it full time, support can be expected anything but soon.

All I have at this moment is nonworking code, it dies/stops in the
beginning of RAM init. I expect to be working on this somewhat more
frequent/intensive in two or three weeks.

I am willing to test but I have very little coding knowledge, mostly bash
scripts and hello world c programming skills.

Well most of coreboot coding is pci_write_configX(whatever the
datasheet tells you). The hard part is figuring out all the stuff the
datasheet doesn't tell you :(

Yeah and Intel is great at only giving you half the picture ;-)
