not sure. What chipset is that nowadays?

I was asking earlier about a work related problem, this is a personal one:
Can LinuxBIOS currently work with the VIA Apollo PLE133 + VT8231 Chipset? This is a Mini-ITX motherboard that's built for use with the VIA Eden fanless CPU's (embedded systems stuff). It's all x86 compatible.
The full specs on the motherboard are here: http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_mini_itx_spec.jsp?motherboardId=21
Thanks, Justin C. Darby
Justin,

I was looking at it couple weeks ago. LinuxBIOS failed to jump to hardwaremain. I hope I can have time again to tackle it during the weekend. But I just want to let you know we are working on it.

I have 3 of these motherboards, and other people have some too. Work is ongoing.

yes. We're waiting for someone to tackle the MPX.
I wonder if the PPC guys know how easy they have it :-)
The chipsets don't seem to rotate nearly as fast in the PPC world.

Greetings,
I'm considering tackling that board (The legacy BIOS is TERRIBLE on that board). Hopefully, next week, I'll try out the MP LinuxBIOS then try to port from there.
G'day, sjames

Great news! I have a lot of interest in the 760MPX and the S2466N-4M, running nearly fifty in my cluster (diskless, using PXE remote boot from BIOS, which is probably the best to hope for, outside of something modern, well-written, and open like LinuxBIOS). I agree that the bios provided leaves _much_ to be desired, especially with serial console, etc...

Let me know (on- or off-list) if there's anything I could do to help.
Take care, Daniel

Me too. I'm about to buy a stack of them.

yes, Is it, the mpx chiset is mp with USB working, I think... - -- Aberdeen was so small that when the family with the car went on vacation, the gas station and drive-in theatre had to close.

No, the 760MPX is the 768 southbridge, rather than the 766 southbridge with 760MP. It's quite different as it also supports 66MHz 64-bit PCI. What you're probably thinking about was when the first 760MPX chipsets were released, they had a subtle USB bug, so motherboards (such as Tyan S2466N) included a PCI card to support USB. AMD fixed the chipset to natively support USB properly, but didn't change the chipset number (still 760MPX); Tyan's new motherboards containing this fixed 760MPX chipset do have a new model number (Tyan S2466N-4M, which actually denotes the 4Mbit/512KB Flash-ram).
Hope this helps, and take care, Daniel
