Lady luck rarely smiles upon me. This looks like this is no exception. I modified the kernel command line to add the 'earlyprintk=<foo>' at the end of the command line, and the result is the same: - no output until the system rebooted (when using kexec) - no output at all (etherboot) -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
