That board has a VIA vt82c686b south on it? I built linuxbios for a similar VIA board (endat) with an 8601 north and vt82c686b south. That won't work with the epia or epia-m configs. but you can go from the via/vt5426 config. You are perhaps getting garbage serial output because you're setting

OK, I have applied Yh Lu's patches for the most part. In almost all cases they are tyan 2880-specific. There are three things I can see that might affect others: #ifdef some-variable no longer works in many places, it has to be #if some-variable == 1 to work. - for the new config too,
