My resource map sets: DRAM mappings for each node MMIO mappings for each HT chain PCI IO mappings for each HT chain PCI Bus numbers for each HT chain Since all of your devices are on the same HT chain in your devicetree.cb, a resourcemap should be pretty easy to do. DRAM - All 0, but

Hi, I finally got it working, but I don't like my solution! I noticed that after setup_mb_resource_map(); the board hang at outb and inl instructions. So I commented it out to see how far this will bring me. For my surprise the board booted right into Linux without further problems. Now my
