[LinuxBIOS] Does my MoBo supported?

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!
I've got a small number of motherboards on which I would like to
install LinuxBIOS instead of proprietary BLOBs.

One of that cars identified as Gigabyte 7VT880-RZ (based on VIA KT880 + VT8237R)

Here is output from lspci and dmidecode respectively:

http://lemenkov.googlepages.com/dmidecode.txt

Can I do something with this M/b? I don't mean bulking it, actually :)

Not supported yet, sorry. However, Rudolf Marek is working on K8T890/VT8237
support if that helps...

I've got an idea!
There is a list of supported and partially supported chipsets and mainboards.
Why don't list also unsupported chipsets (and, maybe m/b too)?
I think it would be useful also.

Everything which is not listed is not supported. :) No need to list "all"
non-supported chipsets (we wouldn't be able to gather the "full" list
anyway, and there's not point in doing it).

I would like my chipset supported to, a intel i845 on MS-6391 !

The bios is not soldered, just on a PLCC support.

Cheers,

Polytan

Hello,
The i845 is very close to the chipset I am working on. I have refered  
to it's datasheets a few times, just to have another view. This will  
be my next mission.

Thanks - Joe

Lovely !

If you want dumps or anything, just ask :)

I really would like to run linuxbios on it.
I just have to by a plcc chip abd a plcc tool remover.

Hi Peter!

I dont know how much different is VIA 880 from K8T890. It seems it has no PCIe 
correct? Maybe you can send here a lspci -xxx output.
