[coreboot] unable to build coreboot with grub
Hi,
I have cloned latest coreboot and trying to build with grub2 as payload. in
make menuconfig I select grub2 instead of seabios. when I fire make command
it checkout latest grub and that fails to build. for 2 reasons.
1. Due to some initialization errors that I managed to fix with below
changes
- struct grub_linux_initrd_context initrd_ctx = { 0, };
+ struct grub_linux_initrd_context initrd_ctx = { 0,NULL,0 };
2. grub size issue as below that I am unable to resolve and looking for
your help. I am building for QEMU and using QEMU version 2.1.2.
E: Could not add [payloads/external/GRUB2/grub2/build/default_payload.elf,
268862 bytes (262 KB)@0x0]; too big?
E: Failed to add 'payloads/external/GRUB2/grub2/build/default_payload.elf'
into ROM image.

E: Failed to add 'payloads/external/GRUB2/grub2/build/default_payload.elf' into ROM image. Increase ROM size. If it is known that a particular payload option requires a minimum ROM image size then coreboot configuration must ensure that an invalid configuration is not possible. That is not rocket science. Neither is implementing it. And it is critical for coreboot not to look like a ridiculous toy. It's like with correct whitespace in source code; a fundamental thing to always get right, to maintain some kind of credibility for the code and not waste time of those who might pass by and have an interest. Why should we make code any worse than it can be? //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

I don't think it is wise for coreboot to offer a plethora of payload options, none of which actually work correctly at a given point in time. I think it would be significantly better to only support one or two payload options, and focus on 1) making them work at all and then 2) making them work really well, with useful defaults and good automation of all things that can be automated. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

Thanks Vladimir,
Can you please let me know how to increase the ROM size?

Hi,
It's in Chipset Options - Size of CBFS filesystem in ROM - 0x20
or 0x40 will work.

Oh dear, this is probably why I should just stalk the list, rather than

Re: [coreboot] unable to build coreboot with grub
Hi Vladimir, I tried changing under main mainboard - rom chip size but does not seem to be helping. If I look at .config I suspect that the reason is CONFIG_BOARD_ROMSIZE_KB_256=y which doesn't change even if I change ROM size in main board. Relevant portion of .config after changing it to 512 KB CONFIG_BOARD_ROMSIZE_KB_256=y # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_64 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_128 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_256 is not set CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_512=y # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_1024 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_2048 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_4096 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_8192 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_12288 is not set # CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_16384 is not set CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB=512 CONFIG_ROM_SIZE=0x8 May be it is because of the fact that qemu is expected to have only 256KB of BIOS rom. I do not know how much BIOS rom qemu 2.1.2 have. For qemu 0.9.0 it was 256KB and there was a patch ( http://code.coreboot.org/p/buildrom/source/tree/261/buildrom-devel/packages/qemu/patches/qemu-bios-size.patch) to change it to 2MB. However this patch is not applicable on QEMU version 2.1.2 as there are different BIOS_SIZE macros in qemu2.1.2. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
