Hello Matti,
> the basic issue is that after following your pages, coreboot won't boot

I'm sorry to hear that. There can be many things going wrong (configuration,
missing files, toolchain failing). I'm not familiar with the PC2500E but
maybe I can help checking your configuration. Please paste your coreboot's
.config, and .config of libpayload (normally in payloads/libpayload/), and
.config of FILO (payloads/external/FILO/filo/).

Did you add a VGA BIOS to coreboot? If not, you might just not seeing
anything, even if coreboot boots. AFAIK, without a VGA BIOS, you won't
see anything until Linux loads the openchrome driver.

The serial output of coreboot is always worth a look if something goes
wrong. If rebuilding coreboot with the reference toolchain doesn't help,
this is where to start, IMO.

There was a bug just fixed in upstream coreboot [1]. I guess, it is what
was causing the loop you experienced.

Please try again with current coreboot master. If you didn't change any
coreboot source, you can just do
  git pull
in your coreboot directory. If you did changes, commit them and try to
rebase
  git fetch origin master
  git rebase FETCH_HEAD

Then build crossgcc and rebuild coreboot:
  make crossgcc # Takes some time, but you should see more output
  make clean
  make

I hope that helps,

Nico

yes - understood = first crossgcc though

you are right = after pulling changes to couple files system is now
downloading gcc sources :o)

i would like to get coreboot working on VIA PC2500E

[matti christensen]

i broke the motherboard = once again tried to change the bios chip and
ripped socket off the board

i really am nearly crying - i am 56 years old and it appears that i am
never gonna have a truly free system

unfortunately - maybe lucky from your point of view - i am unable to
swear in english and thus following in finnish

PERKELE !!!!
