[LinuxBIOS] intel 945gm chipset

[Riccardo Sala]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this mailing list and to linux bios.
I have an intel 945GM board development kit, is it possible to boot windows
XP, with some work, with linux bios?
Or this chipset is so far to be supported and this task is quite impossible?


Thanks for yours answers!

Riccardo

There is a Summer of Code project coping with booting Windows XP:

The chipset is not supported yet. It is definitely not impossible, but
not easy either. We'd be happy to see anyone give it a try though!

Thaks, I'll see if we can do something with this chipset. My chief said 
that we also can install linux by now. :)
