[coreboot - Bug #563] (New) tty doesn't show on external display using edk2 on W530
by Simon Dominic 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Issue #563 has been reported by Simon Dominic. ---------------------------------------- Bug #563: tty doesn't show on external display using edk2 on W530 https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/563 * Author: Simon Dominic * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Target version: none * Start date: 2024-09-16 * Affected hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad W530 * Affected OS: Debian 12 ---------------------------------------- I use the w530 (with Debian 12 + edk2), but this may also be happening with other thinkpads. When I connect to external displays and turn on, while the graphical environment shows as normal, the tty or anything not graphical doesn't show. This includes anything prior to the graphical display manager (such as lightdm). For example, when LUKS asks for the password for my encrypted drive. (The GRUB screen also doesn't show, but I can't recall if this was already the case with the stock bios. It also never showed with SeaBIOS, so maybe so). With SeaBIOS, the tty etc. *does* show, but only with nouveau open-source graphics drivers. The nouveau driver suffers from screen tearing on this system, so I switched to proprietary nvidia drivers (Tesla 470 for w530) to resolve this. While it did cure screen tearing, I got the same problem as with edk2. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

[coreboot - Bug #562] (New) Issues regarding HP Elitebook 8470p
by Kristof Horvath 14 Sep '24

Issue #562 has been reported by Kristof Horvath. ---------------------------------------- Bug #562: Issues regarding HP Elitebook 8470p https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/562 * Author: Kristof Horvath * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Target version: none * Start date: 2024-09-14 * Affected versions: 4.21 ---------------------------------------- Hi all! I have a HP Elitebook 8470p with Libreboot 20240612 installed, but I've also tried compiling from scratch using the git head of coreboot. I have been using it with Ubuntu 24.04, but there are some issues: 1.) Screen brightness can not be changed. 2.) After returning from sleep, the WWAN module (MC7710) is not accessible. 3.) Bluetooth is not recognized, as if the BT module was absent. It may not be related, but Windows 10 fails to boot with "ACPI BIOS error" BSOD message. I have actually found out the third problem: the device tree override (/src/mainboard/hp/snb_ivb_laptops/variants/8470p/overridetree.cb) contains incorrect values for usb_port_config. Enabling all USB ports fixes that issue, but I'm not sure if this is the correct fix. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

[coreboot - Bug #527] Can't compile coreboot on Arch Linux
by Peter Daru 07 Sep '24

07 Sep '24

Issue #527 has been updated by Peter Daru. Sorry if this doesn't fit here. I thought this is similar if not same issue as op's one. I was following [doc tutorial](https://doc.coreboot.org/tutorial/part1.html) for qemu x64 and also couldn't compile. I run fully up to date installation (apart from kernel itself). Turns out doing `$ make clang CPUS=$(nproc)` and then `$ make` I was able to compile. This is what I got following tutor: ``` # # No change to /home/daru/Git/coreboot/payloads/coreinfo/.config # Makefile:358: warning: overriding recipe for target

[coreboot - Bug #552] (New) X201 not booting with edk2 payload

Issue #552 has been reported by Maya Matuszczyk. ---------------------------------------- Bug #552: X201 not booting with edk2 payload https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/552 * Author: Maya Matuszczyk * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2024-08-18 * Affected hardware: x201 ---------------------------------------- Hello, I tried to update my x201 with a new version of coreboot(I lost the working one). After building(using default config + set to x201 + bigger cbfs + linear high-res framebuffer) with latest release I couldn't get anything with edk2 to boot on it. I've tried changing `RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_TOP_DOWN` and using newer/older tags of MrChromebox's edk2 fork. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
