[LinuxBIOS] need help porting linuxbios to new motherboard

[Jon Butterfield]

Hi,

I'm trying to port linuxbios onto a Kontron P3T motherboard. It runs
Intel 82815 NB and Intel 82801DB SB, with the mobile Celeron CPU. I have
downloaded linuxBIOSv2 source code, and FILO. I haven't the first clue
how to go about porting linuxBIOS to my motherboard. Where do I start?

Thanks,

Jon

Later tonight (would've been a few days ago, but I've been sick), I
should have a set of patches to get the i810 up and running on the asus
mew-vm, those should make a very good starting point for the i815.  The
biggest differences between the two are the 2 additional dram slots and
a second agp controller for off-chip video. I was going to do the 815
myself, but the IDE controller on my board has gone kaput. You'll also
need both the datasheet and the specification update from Intel's
website, just use the search function, "82815 datasheet" should get you
what you need.
