Hello. Check this out, please. http://www.machboot.com/
This is the reason I have been sticking on fast booting BIOS. Now, Linux boots within 10sec. But whole booting process from power-on needs about 30 sec.
Yes, the biggest bottle neck is BIOS. and CD drive firmware also. And this is the reason I have interest about this LinuxBIOS project. Thanks, all.
BUT, MY EPIA-M STILL DOES NOT BOOT.......sigh.
