Hi,
here's a small and simple shell script which I've been using for a while now to gather information about my boards (which might be useful for LinuxBIOS development).
It's basically just running a list of command line tools and dumps their output on stdout. Nothing fancy, but it saves lots of time.
Usage (as root for maximum information):
$ ./lbsysinfo > foo.txt
Also very useful for development is comparing the output of the script from the vendor BIOS with the output from LinuxBIOS.
If we feel this is useful, we could add it as util/lbsysinfo/lbsysinfo.
NOTE: I do _not_ want this to be used for any kind of automated spamming of the mailing list or some such thing. It should only be run manually by users or developers, and the output should only be sent to the mailing list if explicitly requested by an LB developer (IMO).
We do certainly _not_ want to mention this on Slashdot and be drowned in useless dumps from random people.
Uwe.
