VxWorks "bootrom" is an example of such a tiny-kernel as well as I understand.
But in my case LAB's solution is the only way. So, debug is the only way in the nearest future.
... and then the tiny-kernel
And whether the linuxbios would have AMD K10 support the world would be perfect and smiling again.

I'm sorry, can someone enlighten me as to what a "tiny kernel" is? Is that anything similar to this? http://www.selenic.com/linux-tiny/
Well, typically, its any kernel that is small enough to fit on the ROM, with small filesystem to accompany it. And strangely enough, many people do use the linux-tiny patches to help make said kernel small enough.
But generally, we use the term "tiny kernel" to differentiate between the kernel on the ROM, and the fully featured kernel that you would normally use to run your system (i.e - the kernel that is loaded by kexec from the media of your choice).
