The rationale is available here: http://lists.openbios.org/pipermail/openbios/2009-January/003391.html This commit fixes two different problems encountered on SPARC64 and PowerPC. First of all it makes sure that no PCI device get allocated port 0, which doesn't exists. Secondly it fixes problems with non-PCI devices that are using I/O ports at fixed location. This includes the video card, i8259, rtc, serial port, hard-disk controller, etc. Without this patch, the PCI cards are getting allocated the I/O ports of those devices, thus causing crashes. I wonder why it causes problem on x86. What is the initial value of arch->io_base? I am unable to find that looking at the code. -- .''`.

SeaBIOS on DBE63 not functional
by Mart Raudsepp 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello, Kevin asked to handle this via e-mail, so here we go. I tried booting with SeaBIOS on DBE63 for some fun and profit, but it unfortunately stalls with some register dumps. I haven't been able to really play with SeaBIOS before, as it can't boot from NAND flash that is on DBE61 and DBE62, but now with the DBE63 prototype on my table I can boot from IDE CompactFlash. On a slightly related note, does SeaBIOS really need to do the bootloader job - could I have it just provide the 16bit services or do we need to implement a geode NAND flash driver in it to have it work for those devces? The log output at default loglevel of 1 is attached. At higher log levels the last dump seems to come from a different place. Should I gather such logs with a larger loglevel or does this say something revealing already? Anything else I can provide here? The device boots the GRUB on that CompactFlash fine with legacy BIOS. SeaBIOS gives a similar output when trying a CF with XPe on it. Regards, Mart Raudsepp

SVN Coreboot-v3 with SVN OpenBIOS payload panics on boot with qemu
by Mark Cave-Ayland 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi everyone, I'm been trying the latest SVN versions of coreboot-v3, OpenBIOS and Qemu together and I am experiencing a panic on boot when launching qemu-system-x86_64. I can see some hardware enumeration but before the OpenBIOS prompt appears, qemu puts out the following message on the console: qemu: hardware error: register_ioport_write: invalid opaque As far as I can tell, I don't think that it's a qemu issue since qemu SVN successfully boots with the pre-built coreboot-v3/OpenBIOS image found at http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU#coreboot_v3_.2B_OpenBIOS, which suggests that the bug lies somewhere between OpenBIOS and coreboot. I've uploaded the full console output to http://pastebin.siriusit.co.uk/coreboot-v3-panic.txt in case other people may find it useful.

Intel Doc reveals ACPI Laptop graphic functions
by Joseph Smith 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Hello, Anyone interested in the quest for coreboot on a Intel Laptop may be interested in this doc. http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ACPI_IGD_OpRegion_%20Spec.pdf It tells how to control laptop lids and blacklight control through ACPI as well as other Intel graphics mysteries including the VBT, LVDS, tv-out, etc. Just thought anyone looking to implement coreboot on an Intel Laptop this would be a key tool. -- Thanks, Joseph Smith Set-Top-Linux www.settoplinux.org
