[LinuxBIOS] Files
by Fred . 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello Apparently, these files could be of help to the LinuxBIOS project and could improve it to make it better. Therefor I have ran the follow commands; * dmidecode * lspci -n * lspci -v * lspci -t Piped the output to text files, and attached them to this e-mail letter. Hope these are helpful.

What is your schedule? I may spend several hours to extend support to that, and send the tar ball to Tyan, and you could get that from Tyan.

I also have another question. I have the source code to a Linux port driver and would like to build it and add it to the linuxbios so it is activated at boot up. Is this possible or would the port driver have to be run after the kernel launches i.e. software instead of firmware? Does this make sense?

by Ward Vandewege 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Hi there, Dell's solliciting ideas from the online community. People can suggest things, and/or vote for such suggestions at http://www.dellideastorm.com. One such idea is for Dell to switch its hardware to LinuxBIOS: http://www.dellideastorm.com/article/show/62438 If you want to vote for it, please make an account first - it'll give you 10 votes instead of 3 for an anonymous vote. Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <ward(a)fsf.org> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator
