Re: VIA Chipsets and Linux



I am running a VP2 with a Cyrix 200 CPU. It does IDE busmastering
beautifully under 2.1.59. I got this 5 months ago and sent information
regarding the PCI Ids of the Mobo to the PCI maintainer. Now
all kernels recognize the VIA hardware very well. 2.0.X does
not support Busmastering IDE transfers as far as I know.

(Side question: Is the boa for hamm ready yet?)

: as using the VP1) and the PA-2007 uses the VP2.

: Does anybody have one of these boards to generate useful comments?
