Hi everybody,
Too bad, first test boot didn't work... at all... I expected the early
serial stuff to work at least (as this was already in svn, but...)
I'm using a very simple null-modem cable with only rx,tx and ground wired.
Is this enough or does coreboot require a more complete cable?
Also, do I need some special settings to enable the debugging output?
I really feel like the newbie now, asking these basic questions :), but I
also would really like to get this thing working on this motherboard...
regards Daniel
Nope, that cable should be plenty, as long as it's good. A couple
things to check, when I wrote vt82c686's early serial stuff, I may
have configured it to use the second serial output, because I think
that's all my board had. I can't remember though, so check the
datasheet (I can't right now). Also, check that your debugging setup
actually works, boot linux with the stock bios and "console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200" passed to linux. If you don't get a linux boot
log, something's wrong with your serial setup. If everything checks
out, send me a compressed copy of your tree, and I'll try to find the
problem.

Great! the com port was indeed nr2. That works better... well the
minimal version of better actually :/
coreboot-2.0.0.0Fallback Wed Sep 3 22:07:38 UTC 2008 starting...
This is all I'm seeing... I guess I should check loglevel and such.
Corey, If you're willing to help I'll be glad to send you my tree, but I
don't want to impose too much; but if you're willing ;)
regards,
Daniel
