I agree, but it is still a really big step forward. When you want video
support, you either have network or a disk or a completely custom
application without linux anyways.
yes. Do you think we should test this as an ELF payload?

I hope nobody minds, but since I'm the one who wired these as high, I
don't think they will. I want to reduce the debug spew from auto.c to get
some timings. I plan to remove my overrides in auto.c so that it goes back
to using the level set in Config.lb for debug messages.

If you check out www.lanl.gov, there is an early announcement of an new
K8+infiniband cluster. It is 256 nodes, and will run LinuxBIOS.
There is also mention of a larger K8 cluster, which we believe will also
run LinuxBIOS. This larger cluster is not InfiniBand, as I read the
announcement.

I'm noticing when checking out the sourceforge freebios cvs, it will

I've also noticed that cvs check-out has been really slow, so I decided
to check-out the cvs snapshot tarball from the download page:

I will send the diff tonight, for I add a lot of printk_debug.

adding another identical DIMM, but haven't done it yet. On a side note,

I am sympathetic to Eric's concerns about callbacks, in spite of my having
