Hi, I want to run linuxbios on a sis645dx board. I think there is no support for this chipset. Can someone give me some advice about: - compatibility with sis630 or other supported chipsets - Is it a good option to copy necessary parts from original bios and past into linuxbios?
Regards

No idea about this one.
- Is it a good option to copy necessary parts from

Absolutely not, since the original BIOS is not likely something you have the right to duplicate, and even less put under the GPL. Please don't send us code (disassembly) from it either. You are however more than welcome to contribute fresh code that you've written yourself and put under the GPL, that will get the chipset running. Look at the existing code for SiS chipsets and start comparing datasheets, would be my suggestion to get it to work.
