* Fix harmless but worrying warning where the return value of pci_write_byte is misinterpreted. * Hash together VT8231 and VT8235 code into VT823x. VT8231 is the better implementation, but lacked the write protect disable code that's apparently needed for VT8235.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
