[LinuxBIOS] looking for a LinuxBIOS port of a 4 socket Opteron based SuperMicro board with HTX slot

[David Edrich]

Is anyone working on a Linux BIOS port for any 4 socket Opteron based SuperMicro board with an HTX slot?

There are none noted in the  supported Motherboards page.

that would be very similar to tyans 2912...

you could talk to your supermicro account about it.

[David Edrich] I need a LinuxBIOS for any 4 socket Opteron (Rev F socket) system with 1 preferably 2 HTX slots. I'm getting the idea
that there are no boards like that with LinuxBIOS yet.

Is there another list of LinuxBIOS ports in progress or is it all contained in:
http://linuxbios.org/index.php/Supported_Motherboards#Motherboards_supported... ?

If I have to consider doing this myself are there publically available manuals for chipsets like the mcp55 ?

Is it generally difficult to get board documentation?

The Agami Aruma is such a board.. It's the board used in the Agami
Fileservers (www.agami.com)

Nvidia does not release any chipset documentation to the public.

If you have a company, and a business case, it can be done.
