Hi, Lots of graphics cards need their on-board BIOS to be executed to setup the card before it can be used by linux or anything else. Some firmwares have x86 emulation built-in to do this (CFE has it, SLOF might, U-boot has it for some platforms but I don't know about 4xx). -Olof _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
