Hi, Attached are dmidecode and lspci -t/n/v output for my system, which has the same MB as Adrian's. Since he has the tools, can anyone provide tips on how to get started? Regards, David M. Barr

Hi David,
Thanks for the info! I did find out that all chipsets are supported. I bought myself a Bios saviour and I have all the other hardware one needs. I just had little time playing around with it the last two weeks but I want to start looking into it again, that's why I wanted to ask if you had made some progress.
I am not quite sure where to start but I found a motherboard [1] that is quite "similar" to ours: Sun Ultra40. It has the same North- and Southbridge; SuperIO is different though. Would you know where to go from here?
I suggest you checkout LinuxBIOSv2, then patch the Sun Ultra40 target directly until you get it to work (it's easy to see what you changed that way -- just do 'svn diff').
Then we can create a new mainboard directory and target etc...
What's the Super I/O? That should be the first thing to add. You need it for serial output.
Edit src/mainboards/sunw/ultra40/auto.c and change the Super I/O which is used there.
You also might need to change targets/sunw/ultra40/Config.lb to match the size of your ROM chip and the payload etc. etc. There are other things you'll probably need to change.
Start with the Super I/O, then report back to the mailing list and we'll try to help...
Uwe.
