I think you have a baud rate problem 115200,N,8,1
It was indeed set to 115200 N81, but I just experimented a bit and found that it worked on 19200 baud (with some garbage at the top, though). :) So I just recompiled and reburned LinuxBIOS with maximum logging, and I got this: M-^_M-OM-&M-oM-mM-yM-?M-^?M-^M-}>M-v}M-^?M-?^?M-^_M-OM-&M-oM-mM-yM-?M-^?M-^M-}>M-v}M-^?M-?^?^M$ ^M$ LinuxBIOS-1.1.8.0Fallback Fri Aug 25 03:51:14 CEST 2006 starting...^M$ 87 is the comm register^M$ SMBus controller enabled^M$ vt8601 init starting^M$ 00000000 is the north$ 1106 0601^M$ 0120d4 is the computed timing$ NOP^M$ PRECHARGE^M$ DUMMY READS^M$ CBR^M$ MRS^M$ NORMAL^M$ set ref. rate^M$ enable multi-page open^M$ Slot 00 is SDRAM 08000000 bytes ^M$ 0100 is the chip size^M$ 000e is the MA type^M$ Slot 01 is empty^M$ Slot 02 is empty^M$ Slot 03 is empty^M$ vt8601 done^M$ Copying LinuxBIOS to ram.^M$ Jumping to LinuxBIOS.^M$ I guess that's a pretty good indication that RAM isn't working, right? So to get back to debugging this, do you have any idea of a time when the 8601 code was working? Was it while LinuxBIOS existed in Subversion (there was a CVS repo some years ago, wasn't there)?
