Ron,
How about the support of Option rom execution for on board device? Some device vendors only provide option rom instead of datasheet.
There are a couple of sides of this. 1) Anyone who supports Linux on non-x86 generally has a reasonable Linux driver that does not need an option rom to set anything up. This includes most hardware raid vendors.
2) We have the ADLO code which emulates a classic BIOS interface and as it matures it should be usable for most of those kinds of issues.
3) If we are running Linux if we can't get programming information from the vendor so there is an open source driver we generally don't want to use the hardware. Which is why ADLO is not an especially high priority.
