Strange, the patch looks correct. Have you tried all variations in this line (0x2e, 0x4e, 0x3f0, 0x3f8)?
I'm not sure exactly which iobase ports I haven't tried.
But I just realized. We're not assigning a iobase to the port yet.. this is just needed for early_serial.c to get an initial console correct?
If so, my bag. Although 0x3f8 should work, I should really try all of them then.
Just a quick note, from the success I've just experienced with the LinuxBiosV2 on my Tyan S1832DL board just now, console_init seems not to be taking place at all. The DFI P2XBL post codes go in a regular session "0x80 > 0x88 > 0xE7 (or whatever)" and takes a span of several seconds. Linuxbios boots in milliseconds. I should be seeing tons of stuff coming out on the serial port, but nothing.
Right now, I've got both my boxes setup with Bios Saviors and a plugin PCI Siliconkit Postcard.
Pretty flexible with which one I tackle, or both.
