After some more compiles, I finally figured it out; it's the RAM.
The Hynix HMT151R7BFR4C-H9 sticks I have work fine in Libreboot, but didn't work with any Coreboot release I tried (tagged 4.6, the last build reported in board status for the KCMA-D8, and master). Tossed in the old RAM I had lying around, and Coreboot boots fine even on master.
I wasn't expecting the RAM to be an issue since it worked in Libreboot though. As I understand, RAM compatiblity varies between the stock/proprietary BIOS and Libreboot/Coreboot, but I didn't think the compatibility would also vary between Libreboot and Coreboot.

I have a KCMA-D8 motherboard with two Opteron 4226s, and 6x4GB (24GB) Hynix HMT151R7BFR4C-H9 RAM sticks. All my attempts of getting Coreboot to POST with this board so far haven't worked. I'm compiling Coreboot from Git (master branch), and can build it without issue. A pre-built Libreboot ROM (20160907) POSTs and boots fine.
For Coreboot's config, I've tried including/excluding CPU microcode updates, along with some less important-sounding options. For hardware, I've tried unplugging everything external (KB/mouse), my GPU (RX 580), and only had a single RAM stick in (slot A1). I've also tried a single CPU being powered (kept the 2nd CPU in but only had a single 4-pin CPU going to the 1st CPU).
Can anyone else confirm Git builds of Coreboot booting on this board, or provide any tips as to anything I could be missing?
I see this issue https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/151 but there's a board status months after that that looks like it boots: https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/board-status.git/tree/asus/kcma-d8/4.7-789-... _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-leave@coreboot.org
