Let's just say more work needs to be done. Polishing is really really really
important. We want to be better than the proprietary alternative - and that
means that all parts of a supported board need to work, and work properly.

Agreed.

I'm not seeing all these issues?

.... I don't know what the problem is you are seeing, but buildrom (v3) works
just fine for me. It generates an alix.1c image with filo payload and VSA
blob, which boots perfectly from CF (with the dongle). All built on Ubuntu
Gutsy 32 bit.

Toolchain issues? Your CF boots under the proprietary bios right? Are there
multiple alix.1c revisions?

I'm with you there :) It's weird and a bit annoying.

100% agreed. By that reasoning, I don't think we have a single board that is
truly 'finished'.

Thanks,
Ward.
