Re: [coreboot] Booting issue --AMD Olive Hill plus mainboard

[Nagabhushan Shastry]

I included the microcode updates but no luck.

The PCI IDs seem to be correct for Mullins [Radeon R3 Graphics] (
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1002).
*There is no serial port in the Olive Hill Plus board*. *What are my
options*?
Also how do i use this tool in util/cbmem/ ? I am using the default SeaBios
as the payload.
