Thanks again (Myles & everyone) for discussing coreboot for s4882
until I could compile & install.  After doing so, my s4882
just has a blank screen and continually does 2 alternating beeps (like
a siren.)<br>
<br>
I saw no POST codes on <a href="http://coreboot.org">coreboot.org</a>.&nbsp; I saved coreboot.rom and now
have a Slackware pII system up (no coreboot) as well as a Windows
2.4GHz Athlon.&nbsp; What next?<br>
<br>
I only installed grub2 as payload; grub2 may not be the problem: IIRC,
I included chainloader in grub2.elf: my &#39;/&#39; has LILO.&nbsp;
Coreboot.org has &#39;official grub&#39; (grub2) and &#39;grub2&#39; pages, which say
different things, though they likely mean the same thing.<br>
<br>
I neither want to re-flash old BIOS nor yet try coreboot on my
alternate Slackware system, though I plan to after any possible
functional s4882 build.<br>
<br>
Coreboot compiles within about 1 min. on 8-core a880 w/8Gb and would be
relatively quick even on dual pIII.&nbsp; I am unsure about pII (I
skipped from pI.)&nbsp; Does DJGPP work well on XP, or are Cygwin or
MinGW like it?&nbsp; I have never done GUI programming--incl.
&#39;programming on an OS requiring GUI (except in class)&#39; and would rather
not boot Windows until I learn to add it to BOINC (
<a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu">http://boinc.berkeley.edu</a> ) on a LAN.<br>
