comes with OpenLinux built-in, with a 3.12 (3.12.0-mp30ar0_sw_1.18.04)
kernel which doesn't appear to be vanilla mainline. They also provide
a Ubuntu image which uses the same kernel. The kernel is full fat, no
external modules and I guess has firmware blobs built in as
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y and there is no /lib/firmware/.
Here's what I just heard back on the CentOS list:

Have you tried it with the latest image?
Hi Gordon,
I'll give the latest image a go later and let you know how I get on, I'm
not sure whether I used the latest or not.
I got a not very helpful reply or two from Gigabyte, quote;
"As mentioned, because we can only guarantee Linux to work fine with
this server motherboard, we cannot guarantee other operating system work
properly with it. As to the source code, since Linux is a open source
operating system, you can find the information online individually.
Meanwhile, if you install other operating system, since we do not have
related utilities / firmware / BIOS for the operating system, it may
cause some problem while operating the system."
I had basically asked if I could have access to the kernel code they
used, any patches and if any binary blobs were used.
Regards,
Mike.
