Hi bari I have do some further test for my bug: time of booting linux with coreboot+seabios+2G-RAM >10 minutes. The result of my test is here: Seabios+WinXP+2G: OK Seabios+WinXP+512M: OK Seabios(or FILO)+linux(ubuntu or fedora)+512M: OK Seabios+Ubuntu8.04(default kernel is 2.6.25.19)+2G: >10 When into the GNOME, the system is still very slow, (so it is not the disk R/W problem?) Seabios+Fedora8(default kernel is 2.6.23.1-42)+2G: >10 (dmesg is attached) Seabios+Fedora8(with a new kernel 2.6.26.6-49.fc8)+2G: OK (dmesg is attached) Seabios+Fedora8(default kernel is 2.6.23.1-42)(reboot immediately from a Fedora8(with a new kernel 2.6.26.6-49.fc8))+2G:OK (dmesg is attached) Seabios+Ubuntu8.04's CDROM boot MODE +512M: OK Seabios+Ubuntu8.04's CDROM boot MODE +2G:>10
It seems that a new kernel may help ubuntu to boot. So then I began to install ubuntu8.10. But both my patch+coreboot and the legacybios on the mainboard can not install the ubuntu8.10, they stopped at "Starting Ubiquity...", just before the GUI shown on the screen. So I attach anther three debug-info-files in this mail: vx800-coreboot-ubuntu810-install-err, vx800-Legacybios-ubuntu810-install-err, vx800-coreboot-ubuntu804-install-ok(this one is for compare).
However, I can not get any useful info from these result(perhaps someone can if he has experience of kernel debug, but I don't know how to) -jasonzhao
