I bought a Pansonic CF-25LJM8EAM notebook. All important chips on the mainboard are listed here:

The chipset is supported (Intel TX). szrenica:~# lspci -v 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 430TX - 82439TX MTXC (rev 01) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 0000:00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 01) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 0000:00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) (prog-if 80 [Master]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64 I/O ports at ffa0 [size=16] 0000:00:01.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Flags: medium devsel I/O ports at 1000 [size=32] 0000:00:01.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 01) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2093 [MagicGraph 128ZV] (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: medium devsel Memory at 42000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4M] 0000:00:13.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev 01) Subsystem: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8306 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=04, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: 10000000-103ff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: 10400000-107ff000 I/O window 0: 00004400-000044ff I/O window 1: 00004800-000048ff 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 0000:00:13.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev 01) Subsystem: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8306 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 Memory at f0001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Bus: primary=00, secondary=05, subordinate=08, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: 10800000-10bff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: 10c00000-10fff000 I/O window 0: 00004c00-00004cff I/O window 1: 00005000-000050ff 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 szrenica:~# What are the chances of getting this to work? The BIOS flash is unfortunately soldered, but I thing of giving the mainboard to an electronics facility so they can desolder it and solder a socket there. Interesting, the CPU is in a socket, so it might be possible to mount a AMD K6-2 350 MHz. It is possible on other Intel 430TX motherboards after binary patching the BIOS. Here is a site with binary patches for such BIOSes in many motherboards: http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm -- Miernik ________________________ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________/__ tel: +48888299997 __/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.miernik.ctnet.pl/ GPG:0xABC292D1 _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
