James have you made in progress on working with this stuff? I'm in
the process of retesting and getting the warts out of the l440gx right
now so the SMP support in linuxBIOS is clean.
I'd like to sync up with whatever you have been doing before I go
to far. With a few small mods I have made today, I have linuxBIOS
initializing both CPUs... And coming up just fine in linux.
I have started testing the l440gx module to see if I can flash it from
linux and have so far failed. The probe routines cannot find a chip
on the flash so I believe that we are no tenabling #WE. Any ideas?
If you have code that mostly works from user space I can start with
that. I'd like to get this working because if I can it would greatly
simply testing of new rom images.
