I'm trying to get LinuxBIOS working on a SMP xeon board: http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/GC_LE/P4DL6.htm
I'm attaching the lspci -vv output.
Is there any possibility of this board being supported?
I don't know of anyone one who has managed to get serverworks to give them documentation at this point.
Would it require writing numerous new device drivers?
Several. The hardest one is the memory controller, but for a new chipset there are several other chips that need support as well.
If this board is a poor fit for use with the LinuxBIOS project. Can anyone recommend a more compatible dual p4 xeon board with 1000baseT?
I have worked primarily with the supermicro p4dpr. Based on the intel E7500 chipset. It has onboard 10/100 and onboard gibabit.
Depending on what you are doing we at LinuxNetworx might even be able to sell you some support.
