Hallo Mr. Biederman,
came to contact you reading your article in the Linuxjournal: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4888
You mention that you managed to set up Linuxbios for 3 mainboards, was it a big job or quite easy to do?
The hard part is always the chipset port. In particular the memory controllers can be a pain.
Would really like to try it for to system i have at hands here: a Via-based system and a Pentium-M based one (MB890 mainboard).
Can you recommend some step-by-step procedure how to get it working? Unfortunately the documentation at the linux/free/open-bios sites is not very useful compared to a "classical" Howto ;-)
Love to but I've been too busy porting to different systems.
I can not even decide which one is the way to go - linux-bios, free-bios or open-bios! There is mailing-list-traffic in all these, but in none a site-search even got me results on "MB890" or "855GME" chipsets etc.
linuxbios is a subset of freebios that seems to equal the entire set. openbios for the most part runs on top of Linuxbios.
Maybe you can give me some hint if you are still involved?
I am.
If you need more of a hint hopefully someone else can do a better job of answering the questions.
Eric
