Hi Dale,
Do you want to see the Statement of Work, Instruction for this Quote. If Creative were to get the award, I would need your (or someone's) help with setting up the serial console server, and online power management for PDUs. The timelines are rediculus, it could only be done by somewith a lot of experience. We're getting lot's of help from FlashRom.org, and CoreBoot.org already. I'm only interested in the H8QGi-G (or maybe H8DGU) motherboards.

Hello Zheng Bao,
I'm Greg at Creative Consultants in Albuquerque, NM. We build clusters, mainly for LANL.I'm hoping to bid on a RFQ that involves coreboot for some custom cluster nodes. I've been benchmarking a supermicro *H8QGi-Fmotherboard with (4)x 6128 CPUs and (16)x 4GB ECC UnBuff DDR ***. Would this be a good candidate for core boot? I'm just starting reading the Howto on coreboot now. I do have experience with flashing BIOS - is that technique sufficient or should I have special equipment to get started? Thanks for your guidance in advance.
Greg
