Ollie Lo would be the person to ask about that. He's on leave at the moment, visiting with relatives. Please wait patiently for his respnose if nobody else can help.

Hi,
i'm still using the K7SEM Motherboard with DiskOnChip Milleniuim an LinuxBIOS.
Linux 2.6 has some features i need and want, so i ported parts of the latest 2.4 sis-kernel_patch and the ide-spinup.patch to the 2.6 kernel some time ago. I combined both patches into one. I didn't port the SiSFB-Lite part of the SiS-Patch, because the SiS graphics driver in the kernel changed a lot.
The SiS framebuffer seems to work better with kernel 2.6 and linuxbios than it was with kernel 2.4 and linuxbios. But i have to call the fbset utility first after booting with linuxbios. I do not have the knowledge to fix that.
Greetings Thomas Wehrspann
