Archived from groups: comp>os>linux>hardware (more info?)

A few months ago I read that LinuxBios could run on the

GA-M57SLI-S4? (http://linuxbios.org/GIGABYTE_GA-M57SLI-S4_Build_Tutorial)
motherboard.

Only thing is it requires soldering a socket on to the board which allows an
alternative BIOS to be plugged in. If it is done incorrectly the board could
be ruined. Although I would like the luxury of replacing the BIOS, I don't
see it advertised anywhere.

So here's my question: Does any reputable vendor offer LinuxBios
(preferably replaceable) on a board that supports the 64 bit AMD processor ?

IIRC you can use it on some Tyan boards.

If you mean that you want to buy the board with LinuxBIOS already
installed, "Linux Networx" specialize in HPC clusters, and their
clusters use LinuxBIOS for faster booting.
