I did that, then did not see Opterons listed in it or on coreboot.org/buildrom/.
?
The current buildrom just seems to omit Opteron 800 (or any) series, and that link omits s4882 from 'supported boards.'
I thought I read in the archives that someone patched coreboot for s4882[...]
It should still work. Here's what I did.
cd coreboot/svn/targets ./buildtarget tyan/s4882/ make -C tyan/s4882/s4882/
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../../../../payloads/tg3--filo_hda2_vga.zelf', needed by `payload'. Stop.
// Same error you got.
gvim tyan/s4882/Config.lb change ../../../../payloads/tg3--filo_hda2_vga.zelf to ../grub2.elf
cp ../../../../deploy/grub2-payload.elf tyan/s4882/s4882/grub2.elf make -C tyan/s4882/s4882/
ERROR: payload (206476) + coreboot (131072) - Size is 124556 bytes larger than ROM size (212992). make[1]: *** [coreboot.rom] Error 1
// Different error, but important. /* It's configured to have two images in the ROM and there isn't enough space for two copies of grub2+coreboot. If fallback is really important to you, you can start using compression, but lets get something working for you first. */
gvim tyan/s4882/Config.lb
gvim tyan/s4882/Config.lb
-------------SNIP ---------------- # Sample config file for # the Tyan s4882 # This will make a target directory of ./s4882

buildrom ./coreboot.rom ROM_SIZE "fallback"

make -C tyan/s4882/s4882/
That should work. Let me know. Exact error messages and what you type will help us help you.
Thanks, Myles
Great! It appeared to work, but I am unsure if I will test it today or in few/one day(s) after I upgrade with slamd64-12.2-dvd.iso (downloading.)
So, how hard is it to build coreboot for unsupported boards? I have 15 - 20 boards around, incl. a few working (mostly '90s:) perhaps I should try others if I wait for my OS download....
