This seems like it would get very messy, very quickly. The only way I can come up with to do it is #if's for every single ID, perhaps in some intel_custom folder, so it doesn't make a mess of the existing stuff. Anyways, I'll get on top of testing this weekend, I have slot 1 (440zx), socket 370 (i810), and socket 479 (i830) boards I can test with, assuming they all still work. If those work, I'll bet the farm that the rest of them do. Everything passes abuild, btw. -Corey -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
