hi,
I'm in the process of building a new computer and want to make
sure that I can use linuxbios on it. I've narrowed my choice
of boards down to GA-M57SLI-S4 or MS-7260, and had a
few questions about them.
If i go with the GA-M57SLI-S4, I assume I will end up with
one of the SPI bios boards.

Yeah, that's likely.

Hi Jerome
Thanks for your documentation on the GA-m57SLI-S4 dual PLCC bios, I was
wondering why you've soldered a PLCC socket rather than the PLCC eeprom
itself?
Because if i screw up badly i can plug in a fresh backup plcc and boot again.
Not that this happend, but it's like taking an

it has been pointed out on the list, that an implementation of ACPI for the
GA-M57SLI-S4 needs to be done in a cleanroom to avoid legal issues.
Is it possible to move the ACPI functionality from the BIOS to the linux
kernel? By extracting the DSDT from the vendor BIOS and

Since the build problems of the GA-M57SLI-S4 mb where gone i tried installing

Hi
Thanks for your answer Peter.
As Peter mentioned LPC is used on this board. Would it be enough to
use the flash chips (for programming and reading) to just disable
one chip with the #init signal?
Yes, sure.
Ok, this is good news.
It seems as if only one of the chips gets the #init to

I am still testing the pins but I have near the half tested, and I

Without further investigation of the board, noone but Gigabyte can

I just had some time to take a look at the pin connections i posted under the
same subject a while ago.
Looking at the jumpers it looks like the flash program itself can control
which of the (physically partly non-existant) flash chips is to be

Hi guys (and girls). Good morning (at least here GMT+1) ;).
Well this morning I did with the help of the multimeter a continuity
test between the soldered bios and the pins that seems to be a second
bios socket, you know.
The majority of the pins are directly connected, but there are a few
