We currently run a
set of systems that operator on DEC Alpha machines, these
provide
a console level
access which we use to configure a machine remotely via the
console
port. Plans are
afoot to migrate the systems running on the Alphas to PC (HP xw4100
machines),
we will still
however have the requirement to access and manage the machines when
the
main OS is down,
select which kernel versions should be run etc.
Based on what I have
read about Linux Bios it seems it would be perfect for this
task.
Does anyone have any
idea of the likelihood of the HP xw4100s motherboard being able
to
support
LinuxBios.
Many
thanks
