Here we are, still hacking away at 440bx raminit, while I accidentally dropped the list from the trail. :\
Branden told me this: "I did some more testing of the patch train, but didn't manage to figure out where it would boot but with an unstable config. I skipped over 73887, since it was already merged (and master tests okay). 73951, 73952, 74032, and 74033 booted and ran memtest for a few minutes without errors But 74034 would fail with or without debug raminit enabled. Most of this testing was done with the pair of 128mb capable of 2-2-2-5 timings, but showing 3-3-3-6 as in use in memtest86." Which seems to reflect my tests as well. Testing continues. Meanwhile, libreboot made another release with this cruel reality: "Removed boards asus p2b_ls/p3b_f - they didn’t boot properly in pcbox, and the real hardware is basically useless / impossible to find" :( (And they adopted the WIP Haswell NRI we still haven't fully.)
