I think it makes sense to make it public if the person of interest wishes to do so. After all that rule should only exist to protect the person of interest and not anyone else. I may be far fetching here, but I think we are all mature enough to discuss this calmly as a community. No shitstorm

This is another example of "don't try to support impossible hardware" :-) The real bug is that coreboot build system let you build the i440fx with APIC2, right? I assume that's what Paul meant. OTOH, it is a way to test that linux properly fails when told to use impossible hardware :-) On Mon,

[coreboot] [coreboot - Bug #524] `CONFIG_X2APIC_ONLY=y`or `CONFIG_X2APIC_RUNTIME=y` cause Linux in emulation/qemu-i440fx to crash

2024-02-19 Thread Felix Held
Issue #524 has been updated by Felix Held. This isn't really a coreboot bug, since qemu doesn't support x2apic emulation: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/330 Also the i440fx chipset is much older than the first CPU supporting x2apic mode.

2024-02-19 Thread Felix Held
Hi Mike, SPI NOR flash chips with more than 16MByte use 4 byte addresses while ones with up to 16MBytes use 3 byte addresses. The SPI flash controllers on older systems often only support the 3 byte address mode. Also typically only up to 16 MBytes worth of SPI flash contents can be mapped

[coreboot] I can't build crossgcc

Hi guys, I was unable to build crossgcc. The important tail end of build log is included at the end. I couldn't figure out why. There should be no binutils-2.33.1 anywhere on my system. The build script is pulling in 2.41, and my host binutils is 2.40. Appreciate any help. Thanks Keith

Theoretically - yes, if someone finds & solders there a 32 MB (256 megabit) SPI Flash chip with 8 pins. Hopefully, as the proprietary UEFIs become more & more bloated, these large capacity chips will become more widely available in the near future. And, since a coreboot itself consumes less than

Can the system you are discussing actually use larger than 16 MB rom? I am wondering about your use of the phrase “out of curiosity” On Mon, Feb 19, 2024 at 07:05 Mike Banon wrote: > Small bump, I am still having this error while (out of curiosity) > trying to build the Lenovo G505S ROM for
