I have a board here with 128GB Ram (16*8GB) and it won't boot. It hangs at "Copying data from cache to RAM -- switching to use RAM as stack...". So at least ram initialization is done, but why does it stop booting? Some values I have to increment in order to use more RAM?
Most likely RAM init didn't work. You could run showallroutes() right before that message and do some basic RAM tests to see.
Thanks, Myles
Hi,
like always, thanks for your help Myles!
I steal one of the 8GB dimms and put it on one of my test machines I configured coreboot to only initialize one CPU/CORE and therefore only the 8GB. Booting with this configuration leads to the same result as on the 128GB machine it hangs at the first memcopy it finds so the problem seem to be the dimm itself but it is still DDR 2.
I attached the showroutes and dumpmem outputs.
