Hi,
I used the Sillicon Image PCI card with onboard BIOS. It works well in SeaBIOS.
I would say here would be enough to extract the optionrom from orig BIOS. And
SeaBIOS will assign/use it.
By the bizarre coincidence I had this board @home and booting from IDE worked
well (under SeaBIOS).
Attached patch enables bios_extract to extract the BIOS ;)
oprom_4.rom is for SATA
oprom_3.rom is FastTRAK
I think you can http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS go same as for Adding the VGA
rom here.
As a side note one could program an GPL rombios for this controller - any
takers?
Thanks,
Rudolf

rev 4920 works without a problem, also with the extracted VGA. I get the FILO screen. Great. You could check the values from Kconfig (build/config.h) and compare them to the values from 4920. That would be the easiest thing to fix. Thanks, Myles -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

When I do a probe I don't see any IDE device yet. Neither IDE nor SATA SIL3114 drive. This also didn't work for version 4920. Yeah, the Sil3114 needs special handling for its SATA ports. The Tyan S2881 board has the same problem. I'm not sure about the IDE ports. In the past I've used a linux kernel payload to get around that. Rudolf has had success with SeaBIOS (and the SiL3114 option rom, I believe) http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-February/044781.htm but I have not been able to replicate that yet on my Tyan s2881. I wonder if we could make Coreboot do the necessary to initialize that controller, so that we don't need that binary blob or a full blown linux kernel anymore. There appear to be public datasheets for Sil3114, referenced here https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Sata_sil And the kernel driver also knows how to bring it up, since using a linux kernel as a payload has worked for me in the past.
