I added a couple of line to show were in the file its crashing :-
/* setup cpu */ pci_write_config8(north,0x50,0xc8); pci_write_config8(north,0x51,0xde); pci_write_config8(north,0x52,0xcf); pci_write_config8(north,0x53,0x88); pci_write_config8(north,0x55,0x04); print_debug("vt8623 init step 2\r\n");
well, you are becoming a linuxbios hacker, I think :-)
b = smbus_read_byte(0xa0,17);
this is kinda weird. On a via chip the lockups always occur on the northbridge, not on spd ...
maybe it is a late or early hang. ie. the code is already some instructions further but the machine hung before the serial buffer could be emptied.
