Hi
Since the build problems of the GA-M57SLI-S4 mb where gone i tried installing the bios on my mainboard. Well it worked... mostly. The i2c part doesn't work as documented by Ward. But also all PCI cards are missing. They are not listed in with lspci. There is s.t. suspicious in the dmesg output (see below).
Fortunately i can report that my little soldering work is working fine. I can switch between original Bios and Linuxbios. When running linuxbios i can't do a reboot but have to powercycle the system, but that is a minor setback.
Best Regards ST
