[LinuxBIOS] From slashdot - a company possibly using linuxbios.

[Robert Vogel]

Well...yes there is a reason the GA-M57SLI doesn't really work for me. To 
see why take a look at Ward's tutorial at
http://linuxbios.org/GIGABYTE_GA-M57SLI-S4_Build_Tutorial

The obstacles are obvious from the tutorial.

If somebody could make these modifications and ship me a working board, I 
could reimburse them for their trouble.

Anyone like to quote me a price for this service ?

Bob
