Hi all Following your instructions regarding requesting assistance with the compatability of LinuxBIOS with different mainboards here are the specifications. I have an AMD Athlon XP2400+ in a Foxconn 741M01C-GX-6L as a desktop machine
This is the output of 'lspci -vvv'

I afraid I don't know what the SuperIO chip on the mainboard is; how can I identify this? Both the northbridge and southbridge are noted in the lspci output. There are two DIL chips; LRTS6121A and ICS CA530347A 0507 952703BF Is this what you need? Sorry
This seems to be the mainboard which matches the one I have most closely; http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Product/motherboard_detail.aspx?ID=en-us000012...
The problem with this mainboard is that it doesn't seem to like Linux boot systems. I have the Gentoo 2006.0 LiveCD Installer, and have installed this onto hda, but the system will not boot giving a non system disk error message. I've also contacted EdLUG about this as well. I was hoping that if LinuxBIOS is compatible, I can flash it to the memory and it will be able to boot the system.
Thanks for all your help Keith

Foxconn BIOS? Is it actually an Award or Phoenix BIOS?

The SIS 735 was the latest SIS supported. That was 4 yrs ago and in V1.
The 741 would be an interesting LinuxBIOS port since this device supports the Geode NX.
