Hi,

Quick (cheeky) question:  does LinuxBIOS support the 440LX chipset?

MSI/AMI no longer support it (probably for some time now), and the 
most recent BIOS has some difficulty with "large" disks: anything 
much over 3G kills the boot sequence.

Cheers,

Paul.

PS I'm getting a 404 when trying to fill in the help web-form:
 /cgi-bin/linuxbios/help.cgi not found.
