General LinuxBIOS Questions

[SIVAKUMAR SUBRAMANI]

Hi,

I am in the process of porting the Linux BIOS code for my system.

The Specification of my system is as follow:
Main board: Intel vc15.
SuperIO : SMSC LPC47M192
Northbridge: Intel 845 MCH (DDR support)
Southbridge: Intel 82801BA (ICH2)

I have added source code to support the above mentioned component as per
the specification of corresponding component. I have built the Linux
BIOS image also.
I need to test the code.

Before that I want to know, whether I need to apply any patches to the
Linux kernel. I am using 2.4.18 version of Linux kernel. I am planning
to boot the kernel from IDE disk.

Thanks,
Siva.s

we're going to try this using myrinet hardware. I.e. a very simple
control
program on the NIC that will give us "serial port" in linuxbios for the
very early startup.
