Hello I just joined the list and I am truly excited to hear that Nvidia

cooperating with the MCP55 chipset. I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard

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?
The BIOS is socketed.
This is a good thing!
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.
I took the time to research the BIOS Savior I need and I will be ordering the 4MB PMC4. I can really start at anytime since I have a second M2N-E to recover from in the meantime.
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.
What Super I/O is on your board? (look for ITE, Winbond, or something similar, see http://linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices).
Do you have a null-modem cable for serial debugging output?
Uwe.
