Hello I just joined the list and I am truly excited to hear that Nvidia is
cooperating with the MCP55 chipset. I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard
and
here are my stats.
That's not supported yet, unfortunately. As it uses mostly already supported components (the MCP55 for example) it should be doable pretty quickly, though. Are you able and willing to test patches on your hardware if we create some?
Yes I am willing and able to help in any way needed!
The BIOS is socketed.
This is a good thing!
I just need to grab a PLCC32 puller and another 2+MB chip. Sources on the chip? I will try to order one tomorrow.
Please forgive me if I haven't
followed protocol here - newbie. Are there pre-built packages/payloads
for
me? I want the full LinuxBIOS and plan to buy a larger EEPROM of at
least
2MB in size.
Google has been of little help to me. I am glad to see support for the Gigabyte board and I am looking into possibly getting one later for
another
machine.
Also, what about support for the G stepping AM2 CPU's?
I don't know. Someone else has to answer this question.
I got your other response to this, thanks.
What Super I/O is on your board? (look for ITE, Winbond, or something
similar, see http://linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices).
I have an ITE IT8716F-S Super I/O chip. Looks like it is fully supported.
Do you have a null-modem cable for serial debugging output?
Yes, I have a null modem cable and a laptop that I can use to run any O/S needed

I look forward to hearing back from you and having the chance to help on such a great project as this one. I will do whatever I can to help! I have very basic programming skills in C++ but am a little rusty and so could probably not contribute to the code but testing I should be able to do no problem. I understand hardware / software pretty well and I am a long time Linux user.
Thank you for your response and your time,
Jonathan King
