Late night hacking at openib workshop

A whole bunch of guys from Trilabs came to the openib workshop in Sonoma. In order to make the conference more productive, they brought some hardware. Well, with a little power, brains, and beer, anything can happen. They hijacked the bar in the hotel and grouped around for a all night hackathon. Did they ever get LinuxBIOS to initialize the VGA head? Well, sorta: if you forget to hook up the power to the card, X does come up, which it shouldn't. In any event, a fun night was had by all, including the HPC Microsoft guy who happened upon us and shared a beer.
