So you advice me to install coreboot on it? the motherboard is not mentioned on the website, but the chipset is!
Thanks.

if you want to try xp/DOS, Seabios would be the only choice. and it is unnecessary to use kernel as payload(as a matter of fact, i doubt if it can be taken as payload). i think filo will be the easiest payload as the same.

Hi All
Intel® 845G chipset Southbridge 82801 P4 2.4GHz
From Compaq Evo D310 DT (Custom Mobo, P4B266-VMX)
Any recomemendations?
Which payload to choose? I want to start with a basic one, will be using Linux mostly, but I do want to try XP and DOS perhaps. SeaBios seems good, but on the Wiki, it only mentions coreboot v3, and not 4! I hope it's a typo. I don't think I can use a Linux kernel as a payload, as the chip only has 512KB.
How risky is it to render the PC useless? Note that the BIOS chip is soldered into the Mobo :\ and I doubt I'd be bothered to buy a new one and solder it.
Time to complete the whole thing? If too long, I'll do it on the weekend.
Thanks.

I wouldn't. You will brick the board.

That doesn't help. Unless you want to spend some time (ranging from a few weeks to a few months) on developing support for your mainboard I would strongly recommend looking for another, known working, board to try out coreboot on.

Also, the chipset is not supported. Merely the southbridge is. The trickier part, the northbridge, is missing.

Ohh, I thought it was going to be an easy ride, but I'll wait for AMD 785/750 support, as others are very old!
Thanks every one.

AMD785G works,
Rudolf
I thought we had to wait for GSoC, as it will add support to those mobo's!!! I can see that AMD has submitted some source code, but I never heard of anyone who tested it.
regards.

no, what i want to tell you is that seabios may support DOS/Xp, but others not. be mention that there is always risk to flash the bios.
