I think we have to do it. That said, BEFORE this effort starts, I want to make sure that EVERY SINGLE OPTERON TARGET works as well as it did 6 months ago. And, currently, I don't think that is the case -- see ward's letter. We need to get this code base back to being more solid than it currently is. thanks ron -- LinuxBIOS mailing list LinuxBIOS@openbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
