[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS on ASUS P2B-L

[Jeremy Jackson]

Hi, 

It's fantastic to see progress on a port to v2 for the 440BX, I had v1
working for a total of 5 minutes, about a year ago, which left me
wanting more!

I've got two Asus P2B here, some P2-99, and a P2B-F.

I did an SVN checkout, configured an Etherboot payload, and flashed to
SST 29F002 with Uniflash, to a P2B:

the rest (dimm 1-3) are all 0xff, then:
.....
Copying LinuxBIOS to ram.
Jumping to LinuxBIOS.

my PCI POST card displays 12.

I tried a 64, 128, and 256MB module.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Jeremy

PS - After I get this going, Tyan S2865 is next.
