Hey folks,
I attended a linuxbios presentation at FOSDEM 2007. Thanks for the presentation, it give me the opportunity to join your project. I follow this project since a while - I started playing with cluster in 2001.
So I'd like to make linuxbios working on my Asus Pundit-R. I asked during the presentation "How to Start when you want to make a new system supported by LinuxBios" I was answered "Please provide us a lspci".
Here come my lspci ;)

Regarding the website, this ATI northbridge is not supported. I have a basic knowledge about the way it works, how can I help making this system working ?
DMI says this is a P4R8L motherboard from ASUS.

You need to write code for RAM initialization (northbridge) at the very minimum. This is usually the hardest and most complex part.
Do you have the respective ATI datasheets for the chipset? Are they publically available?
Which Super I/O is on your board? You'll need support for that in order to get serial (debugging) output.
HTH, Uwe.

Ok,

They doesn't seems to be available, I'm trying to catch them.

ITE IT8712F-A, so it sounds to be supported
Thanks for your answers,

At least the serial part should work. Please report back whether it does or does not work.
Cheers, Uwe.
