I have been having the "memory.c bad pmds" with a Tyan S2885 motherboard.

When Yhlu brought up the topic of LinuxBIOS, I thought he might be suggesting that this would prove there are no problems with the BIOS (i.e. the same problems would occur with LinuxBIOS as with the motherboards built-in BIOS). Looking at the LinuxBIOS web site, I got the impression (I may be wrong) that this was a Tyan supported effort. If that was the case I was wondering why Tyan didn't mention LinuxBIOS on their web site. It would make me more comfortable if this were a Tyan supported effort. That's why I asked the question.

I'm just trying anything I can to get rid of the bad pmd messages.
