All of this is not relevant.
Chipset: Intel Whitney 82810E rev 3
Not yet supported, sorry.
Super I/O: NSC 364 rev 11 found at port 2Eh
Not yet supported, but this is usually easy to do.
BIOS ROM: in socket, 512 kb
This is good. As it's in a socket you can take it out and put a backup-chip in there...
Currently it seems I am not able to install anything bigger then 256 MB ram, would a bios upgrade change this ?
Depends on where the limitation comes from. If the proprietary BIOS simply doesn't support more RAM, then maybe.
If your northbridge/chipset doesn't support more RAM (didn't check), then you're out of luck -- no BIOS will help you in that case.
Hello Klaus, To date there is no support for the Intel P3 828XX (82810, 82815, 82830) chipsets. Which seems a little strange because the i810 and i815 are very popular P3 chipsets.
Yeah, well :) All LinuxBIOS problems usually boil down to:
* Too few developers * Not enough time per day * Missing data sheets
(or combinations thereof)
I am working on this and will hopefully be able to get it going soon.
That's great! We're looking forward to your patches!
Uwe.
