I am able to boot and get X up. It takes about 45 seconds, which is not bad, but it is a bit more than I was expecting. sshd takes up a bit of this time though. I have most everything else disabled.
I assume this is redhat 7. The slowness of the bootup scripts has managed to almost eliminate the speed of boot you get with linuxbios. It's depressing.
There is a tool that will optimize boot-time scripts you might want to look at.
One of the largest problems is that none of the onboard USB ports work.
I believe this has been solved, Andrew Ip and Ollie are the experts on this one.
Also, none of the PCI cards I am using appears to work as well (Which all of the devices work fine with the factory bios).
This sounds like an IRQ table problem. Did you get a chance to run getpir and compare to linuxbios getpir?
Finally, I unfortunately rely heavily on ACPI to startup and shutdown the system.
what features do you use? we're weak in this area and could use help.
Thanks for your patience ...
