I don't think it's random at all. Vladimir can confirm, but if he is caching the RAM parameters, then this 'solution' will work for you until the next time you reflash coreboot, or change your dram type, at which point it will stop working. It's not a solid solution. ron -- coreboot mailing lis

I was not hot plugging them, but powering off and removing the battery as well during each change with the DIMMs. I absolutely don't know why it did not work before using the second slot separately. It might just have been random? greets Mono On Fri, Sep 05, 2014 at 01:57:36PM -0700, ron minnic

Or are you booting with the second slot full, powering off, loading both slots, and it works because of the MRC cache? On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 1:57 PM, ron minnich wrote: > On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 1:56 PM, Mono wrote: >> um, I tested the second slot separately as suggested by phcoder and after >>

[coreboot] X201i RAM upgrade not working

2014-09-05 Thread Mono
Hallo all, Is anyone successfuly running the x201 port with two RAM modules installed? I am using it (commit 8128a56c0ec7e147d4ad68e6ba55979e9ead25ae from Sep 18) for booting a x201i computer with only one RAM module (2GB). As soon as I insert a second RAM module (2GB) it does not boot anymore.
