Hi there
I have some trouble to use coreboot on my VIA EPIA-ME6000 so I hope someone could give me some hints.
With epia-m and filo I can build a bios without vga. This runs till jumping to kernel. This breaks up with an error: Loading kernel... ok "Jumping to entry point... 0
coreboot-2.0.0.0-Fallback Mo 18. Feb 16:59:57 CET 2008 starting..."
I tried with a PCI-VGA-card, "option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1" and "option CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1". This breaks up with this error:
"INSTALL REAL-MODE IDT DO THE VGA BIOS found VGA: vid=102b, did=519 rom base, size: fffc0000 write_protect_vgabios bus/devfn = 0xa0 Unexpected Exception: 13 @ 10:00013808 - Halting Code: 0 eflags: 00010002 eax: 00000011 ebx: 000247d4 ecx: 00023f8c edx: 00024a70 edi: 0001a4b0 esi: 00024a70 ebp: 00023f54 esp: 00023f54"
And using VGA-support with onboard device I get this message: "DO THE VGA BIOS found VGA: vid=1106, did=3122 rom base, size: fffc0000 BAD SIGNATURE 0x7f 0x45 Unexpected Exception: 13 @ 10:000130fe - Halting Code: 0 eflags: 00010006 eax: 00000000 ebx: 000247d4 ecx: 80010030 edx: 00000cfc edi: 0001a4b0 esi: 000247d4 ebp: 00023f8c esp: 00023f6c"
What do I have to do to boot with a VGA-card? Are there any options which have to be set?
Else, using onboard vga device I got the vga-bios by PERL-script (www.coreboot.org/VGA_support). Is it right this vga bios has to be insert in front of coreboot image? Should it be 64k big or just as big as it is in original? And on which adresses the parts of vga-bios, normal and fallback (with there payload) have to be set?
Does anyone use this board with coreboot too? Could some show a Config-file for this so I may see my mistakes?
