FYI I'm doing a port for the 855PM chipset, ICH4 south, for a Pentium-M box. Let's see how it goes. This is with V2.
More about the board later. I am mentioning this as I got from zero to an initial source tree that compiles to a romimage in about 90 minutes, with all the chips (not correct yet!) in place.
There's enough code you can use in the V2 tree now to really move fast to build new platforms. Romcc is a big help here.
I hope others will see this and take heart.
There's also (finally) a transmeta platform in the works (V2 as well).

p.s. Has anyone seen the widely publicized Intel web site with BIOS source on it? I have not yet seen it ... anyone have the URL? Someone asked me about it again yesterday, and I did not know what to tell them. Is the "Intel open source BIOS" just press releases so far with no code?

Intel have had a lot of EFI sources on their web pages for a very long time, but it was only the "payload" part of the whole story, lacking IPL code completely. I have never found anything newer.
Any Intel people on this list that can shed some light on this? ;)

they won't build on non-windows anyway, last time I looked ... ron
Ron,
The 'sample' EFI code known as 'Platform Innovation Framework for EFI' is at the following link...
http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/main_sample.htm
It is payload only code, used to debug EFI drivers. But the full code is rumored to be out 'soon'....
