Hello Ronald,
I'll answer the questions: 1. Compiled LinuxBIOS for Tyan S2882 2 Opteron processors 4GByte RAM - Integrated VGA Integrated Sata Silicon images
This was the first time I've worked with LinuxBIOS so I have to get more knowledge about the whole code before to be able to develope it. :)
I've dumped the VGA BIOS ROM what seems to be 32kbytes based at 0xc0000 (follows the BIOS of the two Promise SATA cards), so I've mentioned before somewhy it DIDN'T work!! It DIDN't initialized the VGA however the linuxbios wrote that message what you said it means everything is OK, but it wasn't! After all, I got to be crazy about this, I extracted it from the AMI BIOS ROM the extracted ROM was 36kbytes!! I don't know where was the lost 4kbytes:) After all, with this new ROM Video works fine! The message is till the same. (I've moved the VIDEO ROM after the payload of the failback BIOS because it got crazy if somebody messes up the normal bios:) -Some minor modifications in the board config... 2. SVN Snapshoot on 28th of April 3. Yes, I do now :))
So I like linuxbios :) It should be fine if almost the all functions would work just like with the original AMI BIOS, so I'm not familiar with ACPI, but as I deal with electronics too it's not a hopeless thing to me to answer this:) The first but minor question is that how can we make the power button to work:) The other is what are the requirements of PowerNow! to work?

IT WORKS! Thanks for you all! :) Just another low priority question: is there any way to read the status of the power button? I mean it somebody pushed it?
we'll only answer that question if you send us a HOWTO and writeup on
- what you did
- what SVN version
- do you have graphics.
thanks
