[coreboot] Supported Motherboards Wiki bot down

[Timothy Pearson]

All,

Not sure who this should be addressed to but it seems that the bot that 
updates the Supported Motherboards page is down and, judging from the 
page history, may have been down for over a week:


http://www.coreboot.org/index.php?title=Supported_Motherboardsaction=history

I added a mainboard to the status repository yesterday but as of this 
writing it has still not appeared on the Wiki page.


Thanks!

[coreboot] Framebuffer issue when building coreboot from git

[Michael Rogers]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hi all,

I'm trying to use coreboot and SeaBIOS to boot Tails from a USB stick
on a ThinkPad X60 with no hard disk.

I can successfully boot Tails by building the version of coreboot
that's included in the latest libreboot release, with the following
modifications to libreboot's X60 config file:

CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_KEEP_VESA_MODE=y
CONFIG_PAYLOAD_SEABIOS=y
CONFIG_SEABIOS_STABLE=y
CONFIG_SEABIOS_VGA_COREBOOT=y

The resulting image boots with a high-resolution text console, loads
Tails from the USB stick, and switches to graphics mode. Success!

However, I'd prefer to build coreboot directly, rather than via
libreboot, which adds a lot of dependencies I don't need. When I use
the same config file with the latest coreboot from git, the
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_KEEP_VESA_MODE option is ignored. (In 'make
menuconfig', the Display section where I'd expect to find this option
is empty.) The resulting image boots with a low-resolution text
console, loads Tails from the USB stick, and fails to switch to
graphics mode.

Can anyone shed some light on the disappearance of the
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_KEEP_VESA_MODE option?

My config file is pasted below in case the list doesn't accept
attachments.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi everyone,

if you're coming to FOSDEM and can help out at the booth, please send a
short reply to this mail.

This is a friendly reminder to fill in
https://www.coreboot.org/Talk:FOSDEM_2015 with the details of what
you're bringing.

Please also tell me if you want me to bring some bulky/heavy stuff. I
will arrive by car.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

 I would love to be there again and some of you already said they'd try
 to be there, but I forgot who. Who can be there with me at the booth and
 when can you be there?

[coreboot] Help With port Coreboot to HP XW8400

[user7]

Hello All.
I have problem with port coreboot to HP XW8400. http://i.imgur.com/fFqTk95.png
http://h50146.www5.hp.com/lib/doc/manual/workstation/xw8400/364898-001.pdf
i want install on it Intel Xeon x54xx but i can install only x53xx.
This motherboard have:
Intel 5000X Chip.
Intel ® 631xESB/632xESB I/O Controller Hub (ESB2)
LSI SAS 1064 I/O Controller
BCM5752 - Broadcom
I check in coreboot siete and support chipset is 5000P, and I have 5000X it is 
possilble to easy port coreboot on my platform?

I tried a similar experiment with putting an x54xx in an xw6400 (but not 
with cooreboot). It didn't work with the vendor BIOS (but maybe this is 
what you are trying to solve?) Here's a thread about it

It is impossible to install unsupported processor in vendor BIOS therefore I 
must use coreboot. 
before tired to use some external program but any one doesn't run because BIOS 
is from Compaq.
I don't know if coreboot will be work on HP XW8400 (?) if not I cannot help 
myself because I can't programing.
