Hi,
I am in the process of porting the Linux BIOS code for my system.
The Specification of my system is as follow: Main board: Intel vc15. SuperIO : SMSC LPC47M192 Northbridge: Intel 845 MCH (DDR support) Southbridge: Intel 82801BA (ICH2)
I have added source code to support the above mentioned component as per the specification of corresponding component. I have built the Linux BIOS image also. I need to test the code.
Before that I want to know, whether I need to apply any patches to the Linux kernel. I am using 2.4.18 version of Linux kernel. I am planning to boot the kernel from IDE disk.
"Please ignore the attachment!!!"
Thanks, Siva.s

NIC hardware is noticeably more complex than serial ports so getting a network console going from power on is still an open issue. I don't know that it has been tested much yet.
we're going to try this using myrinet hardware. I.e. a very simple control program on the NIC that will give us "serial port" in linuxbios for the very early startup.
