O.k. That is definentily a 440BX board so the code for the L440GX
motherboard will not work out of the box. It should be close, but
close doesn't count except for estimating the amount of work needed to
get your board up.
My guess an adaption of the 440GX memory initialization code should
work they are close. And you do have a PIIXE southbridge which is
supported.
Things to check:
- Do you have a 512KB rom.
- Can you flash it. This is either adapt the kernel mtd drivers or,
a flash utilility supplied by your board vendor.
- Can you recover from a bad flash.
Either by pulling the rom out and sticking it into another machine,
or by a recover boot jumper.
- Are you up for research and coding so low you start thinking of
kernel hackers as high-level programmers, doing easy things.
If all of the above are true with a little research and a little work
you should be able to bring your board up in a couple of weeks.
If not it looks like linuxBIOS is still to immature for you to use.
