April 2019
no microcode was included in that build.
next step i will try if, the problems occur again if i remove microcode updates via llinux kernel.
here is cbmem output as attachment

also it seems that IOMMU is working now...
Congratulations with these amazing news! Please tell, what version of coreboot you've currently installed? Also, have you used this microcode updating patch from DangerousPrototypes page before building your current coreboot build?
maybe cause i have microcode updates in the kernel included this time ?
By the way, the microcode updates provided by Linux are _older_ than what this "microcode updating patch" is providing : simply because AMD has shared their latest update with some proprietary UEFI makers but didn't share them with the opensource world (and so we had to get them by manually extracting). But if the kernel sees that a newer microcode version is loaded, it doesn't replace it. Please, could you check and tell, what microcode version do you see as installed?
