Hi all
Following your instructions regarding requesting assistance with the
compatability of LinuxBIOS with different mainboards here are the specifications.
I have an AMD Athlon XP2400+ in a Foxconn 741M01C-GX-6L as a desktop machine
This is the output of 'lspci -vvv'

I afraid I don't know what the SuperIO chip on the mainboard is; how can I
identify this? Both the northbridge and southbridge are noted in the lspci output.
There are two DIL chips; LRTS6121A and ICS CA530347A 0507 952703BF Is this what
you need? Sorry
This seems to be the mainboard which matches the one I have most closely;
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Product/motherboard_detail.aspx?ID=en-us0000129
The problem with this mainboard is that it doesn't seem to like Linux boot
systems. I have the Gentoo 2006.0 LiveCD Installer, and have installed this onto
hda, but the system will not boot giving a non system disk error message. I've
also contacted EdLUG about this as well.
I was hoping that if LinuxBIOS is compatible, I can flash it to the memory and
it will be able to boot the system.
Thanks for all your help
Keith
