Lucky for me the after further investigation the EPIA M2 seems to meet
my requirements perfectly. I was wondering though, the AMI BIOS that
comes on the board is used to switch between the video output modes and
many other hardware features. Are these settings now configured through
Linux the
The Inquirer is reporting that the Opteron bug announced earlier this
week can be fixed by the BIOS. AMD has been supportive of LinuxBIOS.
Anyone know if AMD has supplied the necessary information to get a fix
into LinuxBIOS?

David,
Are all Via EPIA motherboards fairly well supported or just the EPIA
M2? I would assume since the EPIA M2 uses the:
- VIA CLE266 North Bridge
- VIA VT8235 South Bridge
that any of there other EPIA motherboards that use this chipset should
be fairly compatible. Am I correct in this assum
If it came to that, I could desolder and resolder components (hardware
hacking/construction is my specialty - http://www.fuzzymuzzle.com).
What I really want to do though is buy a board on whether it supports my
needs, not whether it currently supports LinuxBIOS. I'll check out the
Tyans and
Right now I'd have to say the best supported mainboards currently are VIA
EPIA M2 and Opteron mainboards using the AMD8111 southbridge. Asus does weird
things with their SMbus and hasn't been very cooperative in the past with
documentation, so I would not recommend that you risk money on them.

Can we just treat it as MEM resource and reuse the MEM resource
allocation code ?
Yes t
don't plan to solder flash parts and sockets on and off. For some parts it
is almost impossible.
The issue with Asus is not the flash part anyway, it's the hidden bits
that control important functions like SPD.
Any reason not to just go to tyan or cwlinux.com and buy a board with
