[commit] tiger-i7501

[steven james]

Greetings,

Might as well join the party. I've comitted the tiger-i7501. For anyone
working on a 7501 board, Eric's made some adjustments to the raminit code,
it's worth updating your tree and trying the 533MHz FSB again.

G'day,
sjames

what is the part # of the i7501?

this is great to see 7501 commits coming in!

Now if only the code worked, in a general fashion.

Greetings,

Which cases are you seeing failures in? I have a set of 533MHz PIVs on
order, but not yet in hand.

Currently my coworker Tom Zimmerman is doing the work so I am not up
on all of the details.  But there are several undocumented registers
that when set to the values the previous BIOS used allow the board
to work.  Otherwise the board fails.  Since it is not know
how to compute these magic values I consider the board broken.
Because changing ram sticks could change what they need to be.

In addition though less important the code should really be structured
to cope with multiple memory speeds and possibly the single/dual
channel issues.
