Ok, I now have my Via EPIA 5000 booting into Linux :-) The Image from cwLinux wouldn't work for me.
After a couple of days and countless chip swaps I've got it working with SDRAM detection using the code in borthbridge/via/vt8601/raminitspd.inc I've tested it with 2 diffrent DIMMS one 128mb and one 256m. Its actually reporting 9mb less, I think 8mb of that is SMA memory set aside for the framebuffer ( which i'm not using ) the other 1mb i'm not sure but would this be the memory from 0x00000000 -> 0x000a0000? It's passed 7 passes of MEMTEST so i think it's pretty stable, for me at least. Any way it works for me so I can now concentrate on the rest of my application, a car based MP3 player. How do I submit my modification, assuming you wan't them of course!
