CD-ROM boot broken on current revision?
by fellaw＠gmx.net March 22, 2012

March 22, 2012

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to seabios.org. Not much exp. with mailing lists nor C++, so feel free to straighten me out as necessary. I found out an issue: Booting from CD-ROM doesn't work anymore, though related make options have been set. I tried to debug it a little bit. To me it looks that order changes related to media sensing/capacity request broke it up. In 1.6.3, cdb_read_capacity(line 204 in src/cdrom.c) takes place before cdb_get_sense(line 209) resulting in a break. In current revision, this has been changed, has it? cdrom_boot(src/cdrom.cline 188) calls scsi_is_ready(line 197), which looks similar to atapi_is_ready from 1.6.3/src/cdrom.c. However: scsi_is_ready is missing struct cdbres_read_capacity info; ret = cdb_read_capacity(op, &info); if (!ret) // Success break; contrary to 1.6.3. In line cdb_get_sense returns 0xC with a medium in the drive, but this seems to result into an endless loop due to continue; For me, I added above snippet to blockcmd.c right before ret = cdb_get_sense(..) and it worked. Later CD-ROM boots using boot managers(e.g. grub4dos or PloP) work fine without changes, though. Debugging was done in Qemu 1.0.1. Since I'm on Windows, I used this build: http://lassauge.free.fr/qemu/release/Qemu-1.0.1-windows.zip Please confirm or advise. Kind Regards, fellaw

[PATCH] Drop FIX_RTC flag from FADT.

The logs pretty clearly indicate that the ram is in the 9-segment and not the a-segment. It may be a hardware bug that confuses addresses that are close. > Do you have any suggestions ? > > Attached log from latest git + debugging patch and log from same code > but with "malloc_low() - 0x100" . If it's just a 256 byte offset, you can add a "malloc_low(256)" to the top of usb.c:usb_setup() to reserve the troublesome addresses. Note though, the e-segment values we tested before seem to be also impacted. I have a vague plan to change SeaBIOS in the future to use e-segment addresses instead of 9-segment addresses. -Kevin

[PATCH 0/6] Redesign of pciinit.c (take 2)
by Alexey Korolev March 20, 2012

March 20, 2012

Hi, This patch series redesigns the existing pciinit.c code and introduces linked list operations. Changes are more about structures definitions rather than functionality. There are no more arrays of bases and counts in new implementation. The new implementation is based on dynamic allocation of pci_region_entry structures. Each pci_region_entry structure could be a PCI bar or a downstream PCI region (bridge). Each entry has a set of attributes: type (IO, MEM, PREFMEM), is64bit, size, base address, PCI device owner, and a pointer to the pci_bus it belongs to. Also this series introduces list head operations which could be quite handy not only for pciinit.c code but for post memory manager and thread operations. The patch series includes 3 patches. 1. Introduce List operations 2. Add pci_region_entry and linked lists operations in place while still using the array system to do the allocations. 3. Switch to lists operations 4. Delete old code. (3 & 4 are split for better readability) 5. Get rid of size element from bus->r structure, now we use entry->size for the same purpose 6. Make use of list operations in pmm.c and stack.c src/pciinit.c | 270 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------- src/pmm.c | 29 ++---- src/stacks.c | 8 +-- src/util.h | 32 +++++++ 4 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 174 deletions(-) P/s It is basically the same functionality as in previous version. I just split commit in more pieces to make the changes to be as obvious as possible.

USB OHCI issues when keyboard activity occurs prior to booting from thumbdrive
by Dave Frodin March 17, 2012

March 17, 2012

All, I'm seeing another USB issue with our platform(s). I've been following the other active USB mail list issue "usb ohci pipe free fix" but don't exactly know where that one started. I'm only guessing that this could be related. The description of my h/w setup is ... - AMD/Persimmon platform (also observed failure on IEI/Kino) - USB thumbdrive with GRUB (menu options for Ubuntu,memtest86,etc) - USB wireless keyboard/mouse (also observed failure with wired USB keyboard) I using the SeaBIOS master source. The failure occurs when the system boots up to the GRUB menu. If I let the menu timeout it will boot the default option which is Ubuntu. If I hit the <Enter> key the system will lock-up with no output on the debug COM port. If at the GRUB menu and I <down arrow> to the memtest86 option, it will sometimes work and sometimes lockup. I then changed the SeaBIOS debug message level to 8. Then at the point where I hit <ENTER> for the default GRUB option. I will see several debug messages indicating traffic related to the USB thumbdrive and then never ending "handle_hwpic1 irq=0" messages. Then as I was browsing through the usb code I noticed that some of the keyboard messages only occur at level 9, so I set the level to 9 and all of my booting failures went away. ?. I tracked the message that was somehow fixing my problem down to the file usb-hid.c, in ftn handle_key() (~line 216). If I change that "dprintf(9,..." to "dprintf(1,...", and change the debug message level down below 9, everything still works. So the delay due to that one debug message fixes some issue related to using a USB keyboard and thumbdrive at the same time. I don't see this issue if I use a SATA drive instead of the USB thumbdrive. Our in-house USB guru (whose not familiar with coreboot) suggests it could be an issue with the OHCI stack. Does anybody have any suggestions on what this could be? Or where I should start looking? thanks in advance, Dave
