Hi,

Upon booting, I get this:

[...]
    			 
    			you could try commit 0df0e14fb, that may
or may not work, the

commit

after

that broke fusion boards completely,
apparently.

Thank you! I can confirm that 0df0e14fb works
properly.

Frank,
    	 
    	It looks like we have a regression. Is there some
dependency on the
    	other patches that have not yet been committed?
    	 
    	Marc

Unfortunately git bisect is no help here because the commit
which

caused

the regression was a huge one.
     
    It's important that large patches are broken down into a set of
small
    comprehensible patches, each with an explanatory commit message.
     
    <<quote from git-bisect-lk2009.html documentation>>
    ...
    sometimes "interesting" changes of behavior in the software are
    introduced in some commits.
     
    In fact people are specially interested in commits that
introduce a
    "bad" behavior, called a bug or a regression. They are
interested in
    these commits because a commit (hopefully) contains a very small
set
    of source code changes. And it's much easier to understand and
    properly fix a problem when you only need to check a very small
set of
    changes, than when you don't know where look in the first place.
     
    So to help people find commits that introduce a "bad" behavior,
the
    "git bisect" set of commands was invented.

Hello, All

Since commit 84cbce2 cause E350M1 not POST,
Following patches should resolve this regression problem, please see the
attachment in detail.
I have test it on a Persimmon mainboard, 
anybody can have a test on E350M1?
Thanks

Hello Kerry:

I have tested your patch set, and it does make the E350M1 boot.
The bad news is there is now a delay of approximately 5 minutes and 20
seconds before any serial output is displayed.

The coreboot log is available at
http://www.lucidmachines.com/coreboot/kerrypatches20110907.txt

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks a lot,

I have a test based on commit 8679e52 with both F14 C0 and B0 processor
on different persimmon mainboard,

But unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem you have met.

Family14 Revision C0 processor(BSP Family_Model:00500f20)

Family14 Revision B0 processor(BSP Family_Model: 00500f10) is same as
the one you use.

There is not much difference between E350M1 and persimmon code,

so I'm not sure whether the root cause is commit 84cbce2 or other
commit, such as sb800 update etc.

Can you have a test base on commit 84cbce2 ?

Many Thanks

Kerry Sheh

Thank you!
