That's odd. My understanding might be lacking.
I think the PIRQ table parser in 2.6.10 seems to work
because it works when I use the normal BIOS.
Sure normal BIOS does not provide ACPI instead? In such case, PIRQ stays
mostly untouched.

Good point. I did not know about ACPI. Ok, looking
through the source, I don't see ACPI in the gx1 code.
So I presume that this means that LinuxBIOS doesn't

Exactly right. But with the right flash memory on the mainboard you
can use the operating system (Linux) as payload directly.

no, the problem is that the BIOSes we have seen in some cases just assign
a bunch of IRQs, and ignore their own tables. Hence, the

Well, I have been googling this board for the last 2 day's and have found
nothing. Can any of your guys ID this board? Or perhaps point me in the
right direction. I put the BIOS into my programer and grabed a copy of the
ROM, but that has given me no new information. I am looking for the pin

Hey Adam,

I'm no expert. But here are my guesses. VGA is
typically 16 pins. LPT is typically on a 26 pin
header. Serial ports typically on 10 pin headers.
Keyboard/Mouse typically on one 6 pin header. I think
