I'm thinking the way that you can use 1. use LinuxBIOS to boot tiny kernel 2. use RAID5 support in Tiny Kernel and kexec to boot the final kernel.
I wonder if the SW RAID access in FILO is a problem....

I haven't tried that yet, but I just tried after having the raid array rebuilt running the proprietary BIOS. The serial log is attached. It took longer now to crash, just as I observed the first time I succesfully booted LinuxBIOS. I got a login prompt and things worked fine for a few minutes. After that, the same thing: serial log shows that the fallback image is being restarted, and the machine just hangs. In other words, heavy disk activity (sw-raid5 rebuilding) seems to trigger the crashes more quickly than otherwise.
