Actually by unit count Linus is currently losing to me on 2.4 shipping.
Thats one reason I really want to get the stuff I have back into the main
tree.

Can you give me the detailed boot up messages from one of your HP boxes and
some more info. Also can you run dmidecode.c from
        ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan

on them and send me the DMI strings. You will need to run it as root but
it can be run on a live system (at least I dont know of any bugs in it and
it only reads from raw BIOS memory not writes).
