Hallo,
has somebody managed to get an Pentium-M based motherboard to run already?
The motherboard is an ibase MB890 mini-itx one with the following chips:
82555GME (GMCH) (with DVI out if that makes anything harder than with CRT?)
82552GM (MCH)
82801DB (ICH4)
82801DBM (ICH4-M)
DDR DIMMs
Winbond W83627HF
cpu-socket is FCBGA 478
Pentium-M (Dothan) 1.6 GHz
More information required?

Somewhere i read, that hot-swapping the Bios-chip is not recommended, instead
a tiny "dual-socket" extension-board is plugged into the MoBo's Bios-socket
(PLCC?) which has a jumper on it to enable one or the other chip of the two.
Where can i get one?
Where to find the correct pin-compatible DOC for use with linuxbios (if
required), alternatives?
BTW, the article/document on the linuxbios-homepage only mentions 32pin DIP
ZIF sockets variants, does it work for others at all ?-)

Are there some current reliable numbers on what booting speed can be achieved
using linuxbios (which is critical for my application) ?- the "rumour" numbers
vary from 3 seconds to 20 seconds for same hardware ...
