the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 6faf97c0c1a10c44fbfebcd25d8b93967263fdfd Author: Stefan Reinauer reinauer@chromium.org Date: Wed Oct 12 14:35:54 2011 -0700
Fix native x86 option rom initialization
- Intel option roms want an initialized i8259 or they will throw an exception 6. This should be done in the southbridge code, but that is executed much later than the VGA init, so initialize the i8259 in src/devices/oprom/x86.c. In the long run this will allow getting rid of some of the ugly hacks in some AMD boards' romstage.c - Don't overwrite the mode when copying mode info information back from 0x600.
