So, if you're looking to buy 150 or so nodes, what's a reasonable coreboot-capable node *without* any sort of BMC/IPMI? I really need these IPMI-free boards and the vendors keep trying to shove this IPMI nonsense down our throats -- in spite of the fact that IPMI is such a failure. It's easy to see why, they get to charge a pretty nice premium for the presence of those BMCs.
Coreboot would be a huge plus. A 45-second POST, in this day and age, is just simply ridiculous. Even were we to accept that 45-second post, the BIOS on this Nehalem new board is so defective that it's just unusuable for what we need -- it doesn't always come out of a reset. Ward, what's the latest thing you know of? thanks ron -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
