Dear coreboot folks,
As you all heard of NERF [1], Heads [2] and u-root [3], they try to get the Linux kernel into the flash ROM chip also without coreboot, by stripping down the UEFI firmware.
Trammell is going to give a talk about it at 34C3 [4], and already uses the word *LinuxBIOS* there, which is great in my opinion.
The only downside is, that LinuxBIOS is, as you all know, the former project name of coreboot.
So is everybody fine with reviving that name to figure out a way to put Linux into the flash ROM chip regarding if coreboot, UEFI parts or something else is used.
Then I’d kindly ask, that the name would be revived, and an appropriate Web site, mailing lists, and IRC channel are created. Could it be hosted on the coreboot infrastructure? Ron, Trammell, would that be ok with you?
Thanks,
Paul
