[Oliver Niesner]

Hi!

I slowly understand how all this stuff works, but now i need the help 
from the list.

I build a coreboot.rom with the latest buidrom-devel tool and coreboot-v3.

i choosed Linux as bootloader and the build process ended sucessfully 
with a pcenginesalix1c.rom (2048KB)

After flashing, the board seems initialized, but hangs at a certain 
point. I found a message (see the attached log) saying:

"Unknown bootloader class", maybe that's the reason it hangs?

Any help is appreciated

Oliver

I wouldn't think so.  The Kernel gets loaded, but then can't find some of
the hardware.

I don't know how to fix it, but I'd look in that direction.

Thanks,

This looks to me like pure IRQ problems, at least as a first cut.

One thing I learned with Alix is it is best to have ACPI tables. Can
you get them?
