I don't know how to move the CPU init before other pci device init call.... sorry. I have tried to find it, but .... :( 2006/6/26, yhlu <yinghailu(a)gmail.com>: the snow screen only happened when I was debugging the onboard VGA support. So i move the CPU init before other pci device init call. That is something related to mtrr setting around [0xa0000-0xb0000) the font buffer. the halt_sys display is normal...it means the vga option rom is executed successfully. you can use filo in etherboot to boot from usb stick.
