Hi, As a hobby, I play with a carpc in my accord. I have been recently trying the Meego linux distro. Meego is a fairly quick booting system, but it doesn't do anything to help with the really slow BIOS my MB899 has -- as I was doing a search on BIOS updates, I came across this project. While the MB899 isn't listed on the website as supported, I noted that it was addressed/added recently in email traffic on this list. I also noted that this BIOS is supposedly really quick... Somewhere I read you could get to the Linux terminal in less than 5 seconds?Which is something I am really interested in as an "instant boot" would be a welcome addition to my system.
All that said, I was hoping to get pointed in the right direction to being able to install this in my motherboard. The specifics of the board (in case I misread the post) are(from manual): IBASE MB899 Intel 945GM Chipset GMCH: 82945GM 1466-pin Micro-FCBGA ICH7M:82801GBM 652-pin MBGA. While I am very capable of building software out of SVN (been doing that for mythtv, openmobile, etc) and linux kernel, I have not played with pulling individual chips, like a BIOS. So I don't know anything about acquiring and/or replacing one. But I can be somewhat adventureous...
