Hi all, 1) we should provide at least the MP-Table. There is a still lot of OS without ACPI support (various homebrew OS, RTOS etc) which don't want to carry the ACPICA just to get idea how to route IRQs... 2) if we want to setup the PCI for PIC we need to do: a) setup the PCI router (just

Hi Scott! The NIC bus number is hard-coded at the moment. This needs fixing if the NIC bus number can change. The bus number of the NIC changed from 03:00.0 to 04:00.0 when I plugged a PCIe card into the board. Tried that maybe two weeks ago. Regards Felix -- coreboot mailing list:

Thanks, that's a great explanation. Generally, we've tried to avoid too much hardware setup in coreboot; that's the job of the kernel. I'm not really happy that we're doing all this PIC setup for one OS, written in assembly. It's been quite some time since I've had to use PIC mode at all. Why
