MSI 694t pro supported? - coreboot

1 Jun 2004


      Hi everybody,
I perused through the documentation, but as I am
really no specialist, I couldn't tell if Linuxbios
would work with my motherboard, nor the way to put the
whole thing up and running in the eventuality it would
-is there any step-by-step howto for dummies like I ?
The reason I ask is because the 694t's (aka 6309 v.5)
bios is buggy as hell, and the kind folks at MSI do
not offer support anymore. Hope not to be too much a
burden on the list, my apologies if I am. Thank you
for your attention, here's the output of lspci -vv:
