Hello, I am working on a new mainboard/northbridge and have got it all the way to "Jumping to image" and then it immediately restarts and loops at that point over and over. I even did a ram_check() on the whole memory (accept vga range) and it passes just fine. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a simple way to verify/read the raw data after coreboot is copied to memory? Help?
Here is my bootlog: http://coreboot.pastebin.com/KNyMM9xZ

ram_check() is not a good test to see if ram is working. It merely catches some cases where RAM is _not_ working.
Sorry to say but with a 99% chance this means your RAM init is faulty.
You can switch compression of stage 2 explicitly off and then dump the memory at 0x100000 to serial and compare it with your coreboot.rom file.
