About Linuxbios on VIA chipset(VIA C processor) , is it supported - coreboot

2 Jan 2003


      Hi,
I have motherboard with chipset (VIA C3 processor).
The motherboard has a watchdog timer, 7-Segment LED disply and modeswitch feature.
I would like to replace the existing AwardBios by linuxbios
as the AwardBios takes around 6-7 seconds for all it's checking.
i.e. after 6/7 seconds, I get the lilo prompt.
There seems to be now way to reduce this time to 2-3 seconds in Award
Bios to the best of my knowledge.
I want to bring it down to 1-2 seconds or less than that.
I beleive, linuxbios would help in that matter.
Could anyone please help me in this. Please let me know.
I am new in customizing/flashing a bios on a motherboard. Can I get some literature as well apart from the above views.
Would the existing linuxbios supported, where can I the 
latest source for the bios.
What would be procedure involved, if I need to do it. 
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepak
