Greetings,
I've just committed support for the 533MHz FSB version of Intel Clearwater and the E7501 northbridge.
It's not well tested yet, but it does etherboot the kernel.
How similar is E7505? Does anyone have the docs? There are now much cheaper, actual ATX form factor E7505 eg
The 7505 is very similar to the 7501 with 533 MHz system bus and also features 8x AGP.... a missing feature from recent Xeon chipsets.
And according to the Digitimes http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/Article.asp?datePublish=2003/02/20&pag... the 800MHz system bus with DDR400 chips (i865, i875) are due out next quarter.
We should work on having LinuxBIOS ready and publicly posted for chipsets the moment they are released. This would be a nice step towards having LinuxBIOS ready months before release as legacy BIOS vendors have always done.
