Hi all,
As promised, I've just uploaded a Tyan S2881 build tutorial to the wiki:
http://wiki.linuxbios.org/index.php/Tyan_S2881_Build_Tutorial
We (the FSF) hope this will help others to get LinuxBIOS going.
A _very big_ thank you to all of you, and in particular Yinghai, Ron, Stefan, Richard and Alan for all your help to get me to the point where we have a working LinuxBIOS machine.
We will be deploying 2 or 3 of these GX28 boxes shortly. Soon, all @(lists.)gnu.org and @fsf.org e-mail will be processed by machines running LinuxBIOS!
As you will see in the wiki page, there is still one thing that I have not gotten to work - VGA output. It's not a big issue for us, but I'd like to get it working nevertheless, if only to complete the build tutorial. I'll be posting about that shortly, I'm sure :)
Thanks, Ward.
