Hi, All, We just got the tyan s2912 mainboard and we plan to build a LinuxBIOS for it soon. I know there is a huge patch for s2912 which was not merged into LinuxBIOS in Mar. How about the status of that patch or how about the support for s2912 in LinuxBIOS. Could anyone give some suggestion

The content of all the other pages are 0xff. And I can't erase the whole flash chip by -E option. And the last page keep the content I programmed into. Peter suggests me that it may be because of WP pin (hardware protection), but I ca't easily access that pin because of the flash chip is embedded
