[LinuxBIOS] tyan s2881 - partial success (update)

I'm thinking the way that you can use
1. use LinuxBIOS to boot tiny kernel
2. use RAID5 support in Tiny Kernel and kexec to boot the final kernel.


I wonder if the SW RAID access in FILO is a problem....

I haven't tried that yet, but I just tried after having the raid array
rebuilt running the proprietary BIOS.

The serial log is attached. It took longer now to crash, just as I
observed
the first time I succesfully booted LinuxBIOS. I got a login prompt and
things worked fine for a few minutes. After that, the same thing: serial
log
shows that the fallback image is being restarted, and the machine just
hangs.

In other words, heavy disk activity (sw-raid5 rebuilding) seems to
trigger the
crashes more quickly than otherwise.

Thanks,
Ward.
