I have such cables; maybe not a serial console, but away from university I have some old analog monitors.... [...] if you grep the source for post_code you'll find some. Good. I will try this weekend. What size is your coreboot.rom (ls -l)? What size is your chip? > That's a frequent problem. If you had to add another ROM, did you > prepend it? The .rom (saved on a WD 24000 that Slackware 10.2 cannot mount) size had '5:' over 512 Kb I guess. The manual says 4 MB. Apparently my ROM is too small... I doubt I need certain grub2 modules, but I know not what others do. Would it help Coreboot more if I make a smaller grub2 to test newer coreboot2 on s4882 asap or if wait a while and 'prepend' (if it involves soldering that is alright.) I know It can be specially configured; maybe that needs more ROM. Have you tried it with a warm reset? It's a bit of a long shot, but > it can affect things sometimes. I think I at least tried or also turned it on later 1 - 3 times. It is very unlikely that it is reaching the payload.
