I'm willing to help resolve those failed patches. I agreed to help MSI with this, so I will probably try to work on this tomorrow. I do want to understand the ramifications of these two patches:
Index: src/southbridge/broadcom/bcm5785/bcm5785_sata.c Index: src/devices/emulator/biosemu.c
before I commit them. I think that yhlu understands the broadcom and can comment on that, and Ollie and I can take a look at the biosemu change.
It is really wonderful to have MSI involved in LinuxBIOS!
Absolutely - this is great!
We saw an MSI laptop at the LinuxBIOS summit and I for one really liked it. I wonder if we could look at an MSI laptop that is Turion-based for LinuxBIOS? I know that the Free Software Foundation would be very happy to see such a thing.
Yes. We *really* want to see a (state of the art) laptop that can run LinuxBIOS. We would make a big deal out of this and advertise this device to our supporters. Also, we would most likely buy a few for the FSF, and it *might* also mean that RMS would switch to one of those machines.
Thanks, Ward.
