[LinuxBIOS] How about the support for tyan 2881 and 2882 in LinuxBIOS

[Ning (Michael) Qu]

Hi, All,

I asked a question about AMD mainboard support in LinuxBIOS last
weekend. I want to narrow the question as how about the support for
tyan 2881 and 2882 in LinuxBIOS?

I found there are detailed build guidance on the official website of
LinuxBIOS. Does that mean LinuxBIOS supports them very well? And If
so, perhaps I would like to do our experiments on either of these two
mainboards.

Great thanks for any suggestion and advices!

Best wishes
Ning

Yes, LinuxBIOS works well on those 2 boards. The only things that are missing
are:

- acpi support
- fan speed control

But for a server, these are not so important anyway.

Make sure you have a bios savior before you begin :)

Thanks,
Ward.
