What version of SeaBIOS did you try? Over the weekend, I commited f358759fb which fixed a problem with the RTC not being reset during ctrl+alt+delete. Your ctrl-alt-del2 log is similar to what I was seeing. The other two logs look like drive failures. I suppose your drives could be getting seriously confused when SeaBIOS tries to read/write to them while they are reporting BSY. Were these failures before you applied the await_not_bsy(iobase1) patch? > > // Look for device > > + await_not_bsy(iobase1); > > outb(slave ?

Does it work consistently? If it still fails sometimes I'm confused on what it could be. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
