Re: ipl.S of sis735 code compile fail

[David Xiong]

The status page
http://www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios/status/index.html
shows that the Pcchips m830lr mainboard is supported by linuxbios.
m8310lr seems as same as elite k7s5a, both of them use sis735 chipset.
I am a little confused.

Thanks!

Yes, LinuxBIOS does support 830 but it can't be used with DOC. However,
LinuxBIOS + etherboot works fine.  In this case, you either can boot from
network or ide device(harddisk/CF).
