finally I got it working!
Great!
versions/revisions I use: libpayload r3640, filo r80, coreboot r912 didn't try compression yet but it works for me ONLY with preparsed payload (and adding it manually, not within coreboot build system)
Hm, ok. Yes, the build system doesn't include either VSA or payload. I'd love to get that fixed.
./build/util/lar/lar -l bios.bin Total size = 165534B 161KB (0x2869e)
comparing to your image I don't have zerofill, does this matter?
Only for boot speed. zerofill is used to "finalize" the larball so that scanning it's contents is as fast as possible. Without it, coreboot spends a lot of time during boot searching for files in unprogrammed flash memory.
one more issue I've noticed: kernel boots fine and seems to work ok but I don't have serial console anymore.. :( do you have it working on your alix?
Yes, works well on the 1c.
what could be the problem?
My 1c has the serial port on a superio chip. I recognize this problem from other boards. I also have a 3c3 where I saw this before I fried the 5536 ATA driver.
