Certain problems occur over and over again, and this looks to be one of them. Can you be sure that your northbridge setup is duplicating fuctory bios?
Short form: is *anybody* currently taking a CVS download, and successfully building/running for an EPIA 800 target? If so, please let me know -- I'm beating my head against some kind of wierdness that I have not yet grokked, and I'm wondering if something has broken since the last know time this worked.
The short form answer is yes and no. I have a mostly current EPIA cvs download,
that despite my best efforts at code tidying, continues to build and run every
now and again.
From reading the thread here, it looks like you are getting to the bottom of the
code in northbridge/via/vt8601/raminit.c
i'd suggest trying this
just before the
print_err("vt8601 done.");line, add
dumpnorth(north);
and compare the register settings against the lspci -xxx -s 0:0.0
You may need to tweek your logging level to get output from dumpnorth.
The important registers are 0x64->0x66, 0x68, 0x69
I had similer troubles (hanging at vt8601 done) until i did this. Turned out I had PC133 memory and the config was setting up for PC100
Depending on the values from the factory bios, you may need to alter the definitions of DIMM_PC133 and DIMM_CL2 at the top of raminit.c to get you going.
Mark.
