[LinuxBIOS] Is my PC supported? (fwd)

[Andrei V. Toutoukine]

Dear friends,

I wonder if it is possible to use LinuxBIOS on my hardware, or if not, what 
labour costs the porting?

CPU: Pentium 166
MotherBoard: Eagles, E-AD586-3P21-401
Chipset: NEC PowerTX ADC 009B 026

I have no idea what "SuperIO chip" is, but the biggest one after NEC is 
labelled as "LGS Prime 3C 993/R".

BIOS Looks like old UV-eraseable ROM: under an "Eagles" sticker there is 
something like a circle-shaped window.

Actually, the main trouble with current BIOS is that it can count all the 128M 
of DIMM installed, but reports to Linux kernel (2.6.8) only the first 64M. 
Playing with mem="640K@0M 127M@1M" (or other variations does not help: kernel 
hangs at boot saying "Loading kernel"). memtest86+'s probe reports those 128M 
and tests run fine.

Soryy for the off-topic.

With the best regards,
Andrey.
