So, yesterday I spent some quality time tracking down a rather odd issue I saw with svn head (r4362):
http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/h8dme/minicom-20090618b.cap As you can see, coreboot somehow garbles serial output right after printing Clearing initial memory region: Done and then finally soft resets after entering a CBFS stage: Stage: load @ 819200/28672 bytes, enter @ c8000 I tracked this down to r4315. Here's a boot log with r4315: http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/h8dme/minicom-20090618q.cap And here's r4314, which works: http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/h8dme/minicom-20090618q.cap The weird thing is that I don't have this problem on an h8dmr with K10 cpus (though I'm still tracking down other issues there, so perhaps they mask this problem), nor on an m57sli with a dual core AM2 CPU. I talked to Patrick (the author of r4315) about this yesterday on IRC, and he said he could not reproduce this on SimNow with amd/serengeti_cheetah. So, if anyone has thoughts on what might be causing this, they would be very welcome :) Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <[email protected]> Free Software Foundation - Senior Systems Administrator -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
