Hi,
I have successfully installed and booted win-xp with coreboot-v2 and legacybios under qemu. Unfortunately, when I try to install or boot win-xp with coreboot-v2 and legacybios on my via epia-m the system hangs.
At this point, I don't know if the problem is related to coreboot and its epia-m support, or if it is related to legacybios. I've confirmed that the hang does not occur inside the bios. The last thing the install reports before hanging is "Setup is starting Windows".
It would be helpful if others could try installing / booting win-xp on real hardware. If you can do this, please follow the directions at:

I must be missing something, because my boot fails with this message on my s2892:
Class Code mismatch ROM 00010600, dev 00010601 copying non-VGA ROM Image from 0xfd100000 to 0xd0000, 0x5400 bytes entering emulator halt_sys: file /home/xd1000/try/buildrom/buildrom-devel/work/coreboot/svn/src/de vices/emulator/x86emu/ops.c, line 183 PCI: 05:01.0 init Devices initialized Writing IRQ routing tables to 0xdff0000...done. Wrote the mp table end at: 0dff0410 - 0dff0640 move mptable from 0x20 to 0xfffffc00, size 0xdff03e0
I'll look into it more tomorrow, but if you already know what it is that would be great.
BTW: when I was trying to get XP to boot before, I was having timing problems. Have you tested the timer tick with factory BIOS and coreboot?
Thanks, Myles
