[PATCH 0/2] scsi: fixes and improvements to bus scan
by Paolo Bonzini
The first patch fixes a regression where many disks on a single SCSI
target could prevent LUN0 from booting on another target.
The second patch then exploits the new scanning algorithm to speed up
the bus scan on virtio-scsi, which has a higher limit for the target
than the other adaptors and therefore was slowed down the most.

[PATCH 0/3] SeaVGABIOS serial console test
by Kevin O'Connor
Hi Gerd,
I was curious to see what the "sercon" stuff would look like in
SeaVGABIOS instead of in SeaBIOS. So, I put together a quick
prototype. The code is also at:
https://github.com/KevinOConnor/seabios/tree/testing
This is just a proof-of-concept thing - I didn't implement any of the
useful features you have in your series. Specifically, it doesn't
unclutter the serial output, doesn't implement cp437 translations, and
doesn't handle multi-byte input. It does does have basic input,
output, and split-output handling though.
I'm not sure if this is better than a SeaBIOS implementation. I
suspect it will be easier to handle vga quirks this way. However,
handling exotic serial outputs (eg, mmio and usb based) would be
better suited in SeaBIOS.
Thoughts?
-Kevin

[PATCH] ahci: Disable Native Command Queueing
by Zeh, Werner
The AHCI driver currently sets the NCQ bit for every command that is issued to the SATA drive.
This is not needed as there is always only one command active at a time and in turn can lead
to a hanging AHCI controller (true for Marvel 88SE9170). The following patch disables the usage of
NCQ completely. With this patch the Marvel AHCI controller works just fine without any issues.

How to run AHCI option rom in Seabios?
by Аладышев Константин
I'm trying to enable SATA hotplug (in OS) feature on my board. And one of my
attempts is to run AHCI option rom from original BIOS.
I use coreboot/seabios bundle with seabios responsible for option ROM
execution. And I stuck with a problem, that seabios doesn't want to run ROM
on SATA controllers cause of pci->have_driver check:
optionroms.c
:
// Find and deploy PCI roms.
struct pci_device *pci;
foreachpci(pci) {
if (pci->class == PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA || pci->have_driver)
continue;
init_pcirom(pci, 0, sources);
}
:
ata.c:
:.
// Handle controllers on an ATA PCI device.
static void
init_pciata(struct pci_device *pci, u8 prog_if)
{
pci->have_driver = 1;
:.
So, what is a proper way to run roms like AHCI on SATA controllers?
(in my case SATA controller is embedded device in southbridge)

Two disks are configured and attached to on scsi controller, but only on

Thanks. Can you describe a real-world situation where one would have
more than 10 boot devices and one would be using the boot menu?

[PATCH] hw/nvme: Enable NVMe support for non-qemu hardware
by Youness Alaoui
I submitted this a while back (April 25th) here :
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/19443/
And I was just told that it wasn't the right place for it! So I'm
sending you an updated patch to enable NVMe.
I noticed that this was already submitted on May 10th by Kevin
O'Connor (https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/seabios/2017-May/011356.html)
but the patch was incomplete, so I've updated mine to mention it.
Patch is inlined below for review.
Thanks!
Youness.

Subject: [PATCH] hw/nvme: Enable NVMe support for non-qemu hardware
NVMe support was tested on purism/librem13 laptops and SeaBIOS has
no problems in detecting and booting the drives.
This is a continuation of commit 235a8190 which was incomplete.
