The pcm-5823 is up. Thanks to Eric for the spiffy new PCI code.
I am still running into the occasional timing problem with chipsets.
The timing comes and goes. Sometimes you can hit reset and the system
will come up fine. This is only on some mainboards.
Nevertheless I would like to do the following in crt0.S for all platforms:
make the very first instruction at 0xf000:0000 be:
intel_chip_post_macro(0x00) /* delay for chipsets */
before ANY code is executed. This would allow slow chipsets to become
ready.
This adds one post prior to any other code. The big advantage to this is
that there are few if any posts right now until memory is ready. This
would let you at least know that the f000:fff0 jump got executed, and the
processor was able to do something.
Comments? objections?
