Hi all,
I've got a ABIT KG7-RAID board here that I'd like to port LinuxBIOS to (and a school vacation coming up that I was planning to be bored over.) There used to be a page that had info on that, but my bookmark seems to be broken.
Can someone tell me what data I will need to gather to determine how much work I'll need to do, and what tools I'll need? I read that you guys use DoCs and BIOS saviors - do the DoCs work through the BIOS saviors? or will I have to hot-swap flash chips?
Thanks, joshua

The DoCs are optional, and actually one of the trickier cases.
lspci is the first step of determining which hardware you have. The you need to find documentation for the hardware that needs to be supported.

Ah, ok, cool. So I'll just need a BIOS savior and another flash chip? Or is there more?

sudo lspci -vv output follows after a few words from our sponsor (or at least a few more questions). I've turned off kmail's wordwrapping, sorry.
I've heard talk of having to look up SuperIOs. Do I need to do this? In the event that I do, where on the board would I be finding these SuperIO controllers? Are they SMT devices typically? BGA? What markings should I be looking for?
