Hello all, What is the status of the i865 memory controller?
That chipset as a whole is (currently) unsupported, however plans to support it are there. RAM init is work in progress, another developer and I have a total of three i865 boards. Since RAM init is the hardest part, and we don't work on it full time, support can be expected anything but soon.
All I have at this moment is nonworking code, it dies/stops in the beginning of RAM init. I expect to be working on this somewhat more frequent/intensive in two or three weeks.

I am willing to test but I have very little coding knowledge, mostly bash scripts and hello world c programming skills.
Well most of coreboot coding is pci_write_configX(whatever the datasheet tells you). The hard part is figuring out all the stuff the datasheet doesn't tell you :(
