Hello
Well! That's a good thing to know...so this may be more of a research project to boot Windows using coreboot on the Geode?
How would recommend attacking this if I want to boot Windows on the GeodeLX using coreboot? Or should we just resort to those "other" bioses... I would prefer not to because we print out POST/Low-Level codes on an ASCII LCD display during bootup which is very nice for manufacturing.
Thanks

I will keep the list posted with my results and problems, my goal here is to boot Windows 2000/XP/CE on the AMD Geode LX800.
The Geode platform is not ideal for this exercise. The VSA used by coreboot doesn't support the VGA BIOS (only the minimal set of pci config space emulation). It is assumed that a native driver would be used. Some folks have discussed developing an open VGA BIOS for Geode but no development has been done yet.
