Tyan Opteron board with LinuxBIOS for production environment?

[Jeremy Jackson]

Hi,

I wonder if someone can advise me about this.  Tyan looks promising for 
us, due to longer product life cycles and 3 year warranty.  We would 
like to build identical servers for as long as possible, to minimize our 
engineering and integration costs.

We would also like to use LinuxBIOS for serial console support, good 
integration flexibility, redundant booting support, and bootup speed.

I would really like to talk to someone at Tyan or on the LinuxBIOS 
mailing list about how we might accomplish this.  This is a serious 
application in avionics.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Dr. Lu ([e-mail]) is your man. He frequents here, stay tuned and
you'll get to see him at work.

Did you have a particular Tyan board in mind? I know Dr. Lu's been doing
a lot of work on the newer Intel boards, but we had also had S2881 and
S2885 dual Opteron mainboards working quite in our lab at Los Alamos
Nat'l Lab.
