that is a good news. it would really simplify the design and eliminate needs for any call-backs. still where would the LB code make the original image available? it seems that we still need ADLO-specific "plugin" in LB for ALDO proper to work. ie a) make vbios image available b) setup shadow ram c) copy the vbios image into shadow ram. I seem to recall some talk on (b) in this thread.. which would be chip-set specific. I suppose (a) and (c) could be some fairly generic routines for just about any expansion rom. _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
