Hi,
Thanks for the info. I've been looking at the Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466).
What is Guiness referring to?
Might a comparison of PCI config registers or MSRs after OEM BIOS init
and cold boot reveal something? Power management actually helps, since
all registers must be read/write (as opposed to write only - like VGA
Pallette snoop) so PM can save context on suspend. Does LinuxBIOS go
far enough to get the serial port working?
I'm going to buy a board, is there any chance it can be done without an
ICE?
Regards,
Jeremy
