hello,
I've been watching an reading a lot in this interesting adventure...
I've been trying to get Linuxbios work first on a SiS530 but through
mailing list, tree docs, and surroundings i didn't find out enough
support on this. So i decide to switch to another board that have been
greatly tested.
I am willing now to make LinuxBios work on a Apollo PLE133 mainboard,
this is a VIA EPIA chipset based motherboard
(http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_mini_itx_spec.jsp?motherboardId=21)
00.0 Host bridge: VIA 0601 (rev5)
01.0 PCI bridge : VIA 8601
11.0 ISA bridge : VIA 8231
11.1 IDE interf : VT82C586 (rev6)
11.2 USB interf : VT82C586B (rev 1e)
11.3 USB interf : VT82C586B (rev 1e)
11.4 Bridge : VIA 8235 (rev10)
11.5 audio : VIA 3058 (rev 40)
12.0 Ethernet : VIA 3065 (rev51)
1:00.0 VGA Trident: 8500(rev 6a)
on a via C3 CPU working kernel 2.4.18
I'am looking for a kernel patch for VIA Epia on this kernel but couldn't
find one. Would it mean it needn't a fix ? Also wandering on a "easiest"
way to get my config work : on v1 or in v2 (I got to take care of the
portability with v1-v2 issues?) Knowing that at the end (of this
adventure:) I will make it boot on a M-DoC 2000... yet firstly I'll burn
a bios chip and boot a IDE HD... step by step :)
This is a RFC, so anything helpful on my methods, developpement risk,
wayouts, adviced other docs are very welcome
Thanks.
Mathieu Deschamps,
