[LinuxBIOS] asus A8N-E with AMD 4400+ X2 ?

[Janek Kozicki]

(I'm sending again, from correct email account, sorry for the mess)

hello :)

can you tell me if I can succesfully flash my motherboard Asus A8N-E,
with dualcore processor AMD 4400+, and use it? Or where I can check it
(I looked at the website, but couldn't find any related info).

is it possible 'out of the box'? or maybe I need to apply some patches
first, or maybe it hasn't been even tested yet?

here is my lspci:

On-board stuff:

0000:00:00.0 Memory controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 005e (rev a3)
0000:00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0050 (rev a3)

0000:00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge

(I don't know why, but onboard nvidia ethernet controller (forcedeth.o) is
not listed above, but it works)

Off-board stuff:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0140 (rev a2)
0000:05:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
0000:05:08.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3CSOHO100B-TX 910-A01 [tulip] (rev 31)

currently I'm using debian sarge with 2.6.12 kernel
(and bios from asus, revision 1008)

It' Nvidia CK804 ( NForce4), So it is easier to port...

your can use tyan s2892 to test it....

also in raminit.c you need to comment out ecc or registered check....
