Re: [coreboot] SimNOW V2 LAB problem

[Marc Karasek]

Even better news version V2 - 3092 does not  have the .ram in section 0 
problem.   It has the .id problem  I faced before, but i know how to fix 
that by moving the .id section to a lower fixed value in the rom.

V2 now compiles, the image is too big.  491143 bytes to large.   I will 
increase the size of the rom to 2MB and that should do it. 
?? Why is this image so much bigger than the one I built before?
