The BIOSSavior only have 512k. So you need to make sure the linuxbios
image is 512k.

Subject: [LinuxBIOS] Tyan ThunderK8SRE

Hello there,
I'm building a new server, based around a Tyan Thunder K8SRE (S2891).
The specs claim it's using
an 8MiB flash chip for Phoneix Bios. 
I would very much like to use LinuxBios to make the booting much easier
for me. (After the initial turmoil) 
So, my question is, does anyone know which BiosSaviour will work with
such a Flash /Bios / Mainboard combo?

Thanks,
Cheers,

Just to clarify, that is 512 KB (kilybytes), as in 4Mbit.

I think there was a report to the list a while back that the mainboard *does*
work with LinuxBIOS.

if somebody wants to send an lspci we can see what it is similar to.

Can he use the 8Mbit ROM that comes with the motherboard with a BIOS Savior?
Or will he need to purchase another 4Mbit ROM separately? I've never mixed
ROMs of different size with a BIOS Savior...
