LinuxBios in epia m-10000 (freebios2)

[Xavier Pegenaute]

Hi,

now i know more things :-)

Yes was there some thing printed in serial line, but i was so nervious
and i did'nt see it, i'm sorry.

The line that is printed is: "Serial controller not found", if i search
for this line in the code i find it only in:

src/southbridge/via/vt8231/vt8231_early_serial.c, inside this code the
lines are:

static void enable_vt8231_serial(void) 
{
	unsigned long x;
	uint8_t c;
	device_t dev;
	outb(6, 0x80);
	dev = pci_locate_device(PCI_ID(0x1106,0x8231), 0);
	
	if (dev == PCI_DEV_INVALID) {
		outb(7, 0x80);
		die("Serial controller not found\r\n");
... etc.


if i'm not wrong, the first problem is the southbridge, the code for
epia is looking for vt8231, and i have vt8235 :-)

Ok. I saw in "freebios" that there is code for vt8235, then i think that
i'm going to try first with the old version, and once that i see how
LinuxBios is in live, if i have enough (i hope, at least for curiosity)
time i'll port it to the new one if nobody made it before.

By the other hand, the northbridge in the manual is CLE266, that axactly
i don't know how is named in the standard way (vt8633 may be ?), i don't
know if i'll have the same problem (probably i think).
