but now it seems that coreboot doesn't find any ram. I already tried with patched Kconfig and without same result.
I haven't played with RAM initialization much. The "Device error" message is coming from the smbus, so I would try to see how that is configured and put more debugging statements in there. I see that enable_smbus ran, so I don't know what's missing. Hopefully someone who knows more will chime in.
Is there a cmos option that could be causing trouble? I'd check that too since the board was choosing to do a normal boot.
Thanks, Myles
