Hello Jose, Thanks, you must have missed my reply to the thread a few days back. Everything is working perfectly now, I had to disable VGA_BIOS as you also suggests. Regards, Mogens Jensen ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Tuesday, January 28, 2020 5:01 PM, Jose Trujillo wrote: > Hello

[coreboot] Significant slowdown for asus/p2b-* boards after moving to C environment bootblock

Earlier this month Paul reached out to me in private and asked me about a few of my board status uploads. We collectively noticed the romstage now takes significantly longer to the tune of 1.5 seconds. We were not quite sure where the problem was because I also tried reverting to romcc bootblock

Hi everybody, one thing that became clear to me in the recent (and not-so-recent) discussions broadly related to coding style, code duplication, code submission strategies, documentation requirements and similar things is that there have to be many different styles of approaching coreboot

Hello Mogens, If you want to use LIBGFXINIT please disable VGA_BIOS and for SeaBIOS choose "Legacy VGA text mode" as framebuffer mode in "Display". Let us know if the problem remains after this. Jose Trujillo. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Thursday, January 23, 2020 12:41 PM, Mogens

[coreboot] Re: [RFT] Linux fails to detect devices on AGESA board with `nosmp`

2020-01-28 Thread Michal Zygowski
Hi, As Kyösti pointed, MP tables and IRQ is broken on AGESA boards. Most of the mainboards have mindlessly copy-pasted code that generates MP tables and IRQ tables. Those often contain entries of non-existing devices as a result. Since the most preferred way of IRQ routing is ACPI and most

Hello, adding nosmp pci=noacpi results in same behaviour - linux can't assign irq to usb controllers(but I don't see IRQ >15 anymore). Adding nosmp pci=biosirq,noacpi allow system to boot. сб, 25 янв. 2020 г. в 03:14, Kyösti Mälkki : > On Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 5:21 PM awokd via coreboot >
