I'm curious about a few things about LinuxBIOS. First off, is LinuxBIOS usable (or intended to be) in a standard desktop environment, or aimed solely at embedded/cluster application?
Yes, it's usable on desktops too. I think the main focus of most developers is currently cluster-related stuff, though (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm looking to use linuxbios on an intel bi440zx, a P3 mobo with a 440zx chipset. I'm wondering if anyone has worked on support for this motherboard, or even this chipset, or if the code for the 440BX chipset works as a drop-in replacement.
The 440BX code is not yet fully working AFAIK, but work is being done to improve things. I have a similar board and will probably help testing, maybe coding...
Super I/O: I think this is the right chip: SMSC FDC37B807
I'll take care of that, there's a datasheet. I don't have the hardware, though, so I won't be able to test.
