Hi,
As far as I can see no Asus mainboards are listed as supported by the LinuxBIOS project. My board is an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev 2.0 with a nVidia nForce2 MCP-T Southbridge and an nVidia nForce2 SPP Northbridge.
My BIOS is a 4MB PLCC with codes: AN8D2 1003 C302 GM J6
I have downloaded the latest snapshot of LinuxBIOSv2, as I said ASUS are not listed under the src/mainboard tree,
However /nvidia/ck804 is listed under the southbridge src tree.
The following is the output of "lspci -vvv" on my system. I would be very grateful if anyone can tell me is there any current or future support of ASUS planned for LinuxBIOS.
regards,
Alan Keaveney, Ireland.

you'll need to get nvidia to get you docs for the north.
