No, sorry. What I've found out about this board amounts to this: The
MEW-VM (aka Asus "Hawk") was an OEM-only board, produced for HP and used
in a lot of their P3 and Celeron based machines. It was interchangeable
with the Trigem Cognac, which is the board HP lists on their website for
any machine that could have had either, including the Pavilion 6545C
that my board came from. I haven't been able to locate any info on HP's
site about it either, not even a user manual. The boards are available
on ebay for about $20.

Works:
- Serial output
- Ram size detection/setup
- Ram init
- IDE
- Booting memtest payload or loading memtest with FILO

Doesn't work yet:
- Linux kernel
- Ram buffer strength setup
- VGA
- IRQ tables

Not tested:
- Keyboard/mouse/parallel/gameport
- USB
- PCI slots

Attached are two minicom capture files, one from running without the irq
tables, the other one with them. The irq tables, for some reason, are
completely screwing up elf loader, and I have no idea why, perhaps
they're just that far wrong. Also the rest of the requested info, except
lspnp which isn't available for debian etch (??), at least not in the repos.
