Thanks for testing it on both the boards. Good to hear it works. ]The remaining problems that I know of are: ] ]1) Enabling coreboot serial debugging slows system boot dramatically: 5min+ ]Someone mentioned in IRC that this is because we are attempting to write ]to the serial device before it is ready, which causes some kind of ]timeout/backoff/retry sequence. How can I help with this? That is weird. The log file you sent is 38819 bytes. I would expect the boot time penalty to be not much more than the I/O time of 38819 bytes / (11520 bytes/second) = 3.37 seconds. I did a test with loglevel 8. It logged 45745 bytes and the boot time from cold reset to DOS prompt was 5.56 seconds. When I watch the serial output, it spews text nearly continuously. There is no hardware or software handshaking for the writes, so nothing should slow it down. ]2) System RAM is reported incorrectly. In linux, "free -m" reports 480mb ]of total RAM -- the full total is 4gb. I see, I had tested only a small memory configuration so far. It looks like any size greater than 4GB will fail. Try the attached patch. Thanks, Scott
