Example: Certain CPUs require special cache handling / setup to avoid unusual faults or security vulnerabilities at runtime. The original setup code properly configures model 1 stepping 1 CPUs, but stepping 2 CPUs require special setup. User installs coreboot and uses it with a stepping 2 CPU without adding in the new setup code -- it seems to run, but crashes every once in a while. User (possibly) figures out coreboot is the problem and is very unhappy. Again, this is very low level stuff; mistakes do not always show up as "failure to boot". If you want to verify your CPUs and add them to the list please do so! - -- Timothy Pearson Raptor Engineering +1 (415) 727-8645 (direct line) +1 (512) 690-0200 (switchboard) https://www.raptorengineering.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYriA+AAoJEK+E3vEXDOFbHt4H/ikXwMUu+XJ7cDsb8fx6ivcZ RjyiNL3i7hIjIUYRxRbWcKau7FelLVypYtvLAnxqqDgSdZRfR+/oLrfFYpjAEXRG A/d9eGq6HPKkF/HmxxkpY4RPLQEB4y85u1vheFXJnmg2AEdtaXG0iAlerPw5qZDL bi20R4CQqyT6JL7vRLBawRiozZSpWHUllhbPq1XO2vgRohk78Lb9LlXSOWxBKHlL obSL71Q46KJsKIQ3ovWfKgj1Pz+VA/+qhlXsFGp7S9NkHrAXFKPofBTLP4zzz/Nm KqUWVn7ehCWFtsdt1rZqNWGtG9xgkPpe90V2f90BfsXJ9xhSVCVMud0EHsqDM6A= =tl55 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
