Is there directions on how to build LinuxBIOS somewhere? I haven't seen much in the way of documentation, but I'd like to give it a whirl.
Also, I'm not sure my motherboard is supported. I have an ASUS A7M266-D (it's a dual proc AMD motherboard). Here is the 'lspci' output:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 MP [IGD4-2P] System Controller (rev 11) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-760 MP [IGD4-2P] AGP Bridge 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] ISA (rev 04) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] IDE (rev 04) 00:07.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] ACPI (rev 03) 00:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] PCI (rev 04) 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev a1) 02:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 22) 02:06.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 41) 02:06.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 41) 02:06.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 02)
BTW, read the recent article in Linux Journal... this is really cool stuff.

Hmm, I think Ron might have gotten LinuxBIOS to work on a Tyan Thunder K7 (Dual Athlon/Palomino, AMD 760MP chipset). The Tyan board used a Viper Plus southbridge instead of an Opus, but the northbridge appears to be the same. I'm not sure what the exact status is on that chipset, however.

all those chipsets are supported. The issue is asus habit of putting smbus in an odd place, which can cause trouble on bringup.
But you could try tyan/guiness bios build and see if it works.

How do I go about doing that? Is there documentation somewhere? And which version should I use freebios/ or freebios2/?

use freebios, not freebios2.
See the HOWTOs for some examples.
