That's unfortunate - setting CONSOLE_VGA also causes coreboot to try and write to the vga screen. I would think coreboot should always configure the legacy PCI bridge bits and CONSOLE_VGA should just control whether or not coreboot tries to write to the screen. (Or, if there is a reason to not configure the pci ranges, then make it a separate config item.) -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
