right, but that's not how the code works. Basically, as written, the code assumes that no console output is possible before console_init is called, and it assumes that all output is possible after console_init is called. Hence, if people follow the simple rule: don't call these before console_init, and it's ok to call them after console_init, we can remove the bandaid and make this code usable in CAR. ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
