Hi I saw this project for some time ago and got very interested so I ordered a matsonic 7308E motherboard. Although when it arrived I noticed that they had sent me one of the newer boards, a MS-7308ET. Will it work with LinuxBIOS ?
As far as I can see they only (physical) differences is that there is one more PCI slot, and one less RS232 serial port onboard + more memory slots. Anyway, I have followed the instructions in the HOWTO/SiS630 file and compiled LinuxBios, but after I run the "flash_on" command and I try to reflash the bios with the "/util/sis/flash_rom" utility it gives me the error: "2f is 0xfd" "EEPROM not found" I'm I doing something wrong here? I want to put the LinuxBIOS in one of those "IOSS D1-2M Bios Saver", just in case something should go wrong I can always boot up using the orginal bios. I have also one other question, can I use a Riva TNT-1 video card with XFree-4.x.x and drivers from NVIDIA under LinuxBIOS? If not, what PCI card will work and that has TV-output support and performance to play DVD movies? I was thinking about doing some sort of fast booting (embedded) DVD/MP3 playing computer thats able to play DVD movies on the TV. Thanks, Mikael
