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.)
