Thanks again (Myles & everyone) for discussing coreboot for s4882 until I could compile & install. After doing so, my s4882 just has a blank screen and continually does 2 alternating beeps (like a siren.) I saw no POST codes on coreboot.org. I saved coreboot.rom and now have a Slackware pII syst

Hi there folks, my name is Jiri Svoboda, of HelenOS project. While it delights us that Coreboot makes use of some of our code, I'd like to warn you that the memxxx() operations in libpayload/libc/memory.c you copied from the HelenOS C library are terribly flawed. They have been fixed in HelenO
