This could be the start of the problem, from what I remember, the versions of the EPIA after the initial one where each different enough to cause problems, such as a different north/south bridge requiring different configurations to get the ram, serial, etc up and running. The inital EPIA has a via VT8601 northbridge and a VT8231 southbridge. Looking at VIA's website, everything after the EPIA, upto but not including the new EPIA-SP have a CLE266 northbridge and a VT8235 southbridge. This would mean that the code for the EPIA-M in LinuxBIOS should work for these motherboards. The EPIA-SP is listed as having a CN400 northbridge and a VT8237 Southbrigde. Unfortunately, I think the EPIA-M code is not working at the present, I don't think it got updated after the major code changes a little while ago (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong) getting that code to compile would be your first step.

I agree very strongly on this point. If linuxbios is going to move forward, it's public face needs to be very well presented, which at the moment, it is not. The linuxbios.org web site is very out of date. The page desperately needs a documentation section, and a better way to download the most recent source code other than through the CVS. I also can't stress enough how important an up-to-date and well maintaned list of linuxbios compatible motherboards is to the success of the project. If people don't know which hardware linuxbios will work on, people won't ever try it. This is a absolutely necessary resource. How-to's for different motherboards should also be made more publicly available. jamie.
