Hi,

I am currently planning to set up a test system with 5 (later up to 10)
machines boot testing each new coreboot commit. This test system will be
serviced (i.e. recovery from bricking) Mo-Fr during CET/CEST office hours.


Just wanted to mention that Raptor Engineering now has an automated test 
stand for the ASUS KFSN4-DRE board, run nightly with automatic bricking 
recovery.  It has two Opteron 2431 (AMD Family 10h, 6 core @ 2.4GHz)CPUs 
and 6GB of DDR2-667 memory installed on Node 0.


Each successful test result is recorded to the board-status repository, 
and each failure is reported to this list.


Enjoy!

Unless there's a clear case to be made that this is a compiler bug, I'd go 
with finding and fixing the bug in our code that causes that.

[coreboot] GCC update broke AMD Fam10h boot

2015-03-15 Thread Timothy Pearson

All,

Just a heads up as there is no bugtracker for this project.  GIT commit 
53c388fe, which updates the crossgcc GCC version from 4.8.3 to 4.9.2, 
breaks ramstage on AMD Fam10h systems (ramstage loads, sends its 0x39 
POST code, but then goes into an infinite loop).  Downgrading the GCC 
version repairs the boot failure.


Not sure if you want to revert that commit until someone can figure out 
what changed to cause the problem.

I don't use qemu often, but filo, grub2, or seabios for paylaods to boot
gpt.

You could read up on the cbfs header to understand how the addressing would
work.
