Tyan Opteron board with LinuxBIOS for production environment?

for serial console support, good integration flexibility, redundant booting support, and bootup speed. I would really like to talk to someone at Tyan or on the LinuxBIOS mailing list about how we might accomplish this. This is a serious application in avionics. Thanks, Jeremy -- Jeremy Jackson

Soldered flash part recommendations

Any suggestions? The top block swap in intel's ICH2 helps, but the ICH/ICH0 doesn't have that feature, and that's what the Dell Optiplex GX110 has. Has anyone run across a prototyping socket for a TSOP? -- Jeremy Jackson Coplanar Networks (519)897-1516 http://www.coplanar.net

Hi, I have an application for IDE hdd hotswap, and I'm trying to determine the best chipset. I think one thing to consider is the ability or Linux/LinuxBIOS to completely initialize the chipset from power on reset to use UltraDMA (133 if possible). If it can do that, logically it can re-do
