Then someone modified intel_chip_post to change it's behavior when SERIAL_POST is called to output the post code to the serial port.
OK, will the guilty party please confess to me in private no need to bother the list :-)
If we want post codes to show up on the serial port even from the assembly code we need to introduce another macro, and carefully replace the users of intel_chip_post. Rather than change the calling conventions of intel_chip_post.
ok. I'll do that.
But I'm not sure it is a good idea to have a common linuxbios.a for both the compressed image and the initial image. The error was very hard for people to understand. At least this is what I think is going on, since symbols from one image were referenced from another, and the only way I could see this happening was that the 1st and 2nd stage symbols were all in the one .a
