And I plan to work on integration into linux with 2.5.x. >After the details are worked out I will look at a backport to 2.4.x I think that this is a very important point, since will ease the making of installation disks, etc... Moreover, it will ease the creation of 'live' linux systems that can do a pretty work detecting the hardware and the like. >The hard part is not linux booting linux but the passing of the >firmware/BIOS tables from one kernel to the next. Why?. I mean, I haven't read on this issue in the LOBOS project. I'm afraid I thought that this was easier than it really is... >I am doing this a part of the linuxBIOS effort and as such it is just I want to take a look at LinuxBIOS.
