I've been researching the IDE/DMA/Linux issue that appears to plague the VT8235 southbridge. Seems there is _no_ reliable fix for this issue, which has been known to exhibit itself even in Windows if you're using the old/stock via drivers. Even if I do get the LB issues figured out, the DMA issue (as far as I can tell) is _unfixable_. Reliability is a huge thing for me (hence the use of Linux). The Epia board is bound for Ebay.
Here's the big question: Can someone recommend a _NON-VIA_ small form factor motherboard (mini-itx, preferrably), that has all the usual goodies (IDE,USB,VGA,serial, etc) that is known to work well with LinuxBios? Naturally, one without a VIA chipset? -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
