[PATCH v3 0/5] Make seabios linkable with lld
by Fangrui Song 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

This patch series make seabios linkable with lld. This is beneficial for FreeBSD ports as well https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/misc/seabios/Makefile as they can drop an LLD_UNSAFE As a maintainer of lld ELF, I have triaged numerous pieces of software. seabios is the only one making use of This drops the only instance https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12726 1, 2, 3 and 4 are really independent and can be applied in arbitrary order. 5 depends on 4. I originally combined 4 and 5 and that was why I don't think a patch series made sense. Fangrui Song (5): romlayout.S: Add missing SHF_ALLOC flag to .fixedaddr.\addr Make rom16.o linkable with lld Makefile: Change ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that lld can link bios.bin.elf romlayout32flag.lds: Use `. +=` instead of `. =` test-build.sh: Delete unneeded LD capability test Makefile | 4 ++++ scripts/layoutrom.py | 13 ++++++++++--- scripts/test-build.sh | 42 +----------------------------------------- src/romlayout.S | 2 +- 4 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) -- 2.26.0.292.g33ef6b2f38-goog

Boot order?
by Mogens Jensen 25 May '20

25 May '20

First posted this question to coreboot mailing list, but on second thought, I think this is the right place. I have experimentet with coreboot on my CompuLab Intense PC (Ivy Bridge) for some time, and I think everything is working now, with Intel ME disabled. Although, I have some troubles with boot selection. I'm currently running coreboot [4cea00a64] with default SeaBIOS payload [v1.13.0] and a bootorder file. The boot device search order is this: 1. USB 2.0 device 2. USB 3.0 device 3. SATA devices (in order: 2.5″ internal, mSATA, eSATA, FACE module) During testing I have been running the system from a USB 3.0 flash disk. This worked as expected and system would automatically select this device during boot/reboot. I then wanted to use the internal 2.5" SATA disk, so I installed an OS and confirmed it working by manually selecting the SATA disk in boot menu. I then removed boot sector from flash disk, reboot and expected that the system would now automatically boot from internal SATA disk, but this happened instead: === Booting from Hard Disk... Boot failed: not a bootable disk Booting from Floppy... Boot failed: not a bootable disk No bootable device. Retrying in 60 seconds. === Not sure what is going on with "Floppy". No such thing exists on the system. If I remove flash disk from USB port before power on, the system will boot correctly from internal SATA disk. Is this correct behaviour? I would expect that it should not matter that flash disk is inserted in USB port, as long as no boot sector is present on the device. If this is NOT correct behaviour, then what could be the problem here? Thanks in advance. Regards, Mogens Jensen

[PATCH] pci: fix mmconfig support
by Gerd Hoffmann 25 May '20

25 May '20

The MODESEGMENT condition is backwards, with the effect that mmconfig mode is not used to configure pci bars during POST. Oops. Fix it. The only real mode pci config space access seems to come from the ipxe option rom initialiation. Which happens to work via mmconfig because it runs in big real mode so this went unnoticed ...

[PATCH] boot: Fix logic for boot menu display
by Matt DeVillier 24 May '20

24 May '20

Commit c61193d3 [boot: Extend `etc/show-boot-menu`...] changed the logic surrounding the use of show_boot_menu incorrectly, leading the boot menu to be skipped by default with no way to override. Correct the logic error so that show_boot_menu works as documented. Test: build/boot SeaBIOS, verify boot menu option shown by default.

[PATCH] ps2: Disable keyboard and mouse before flushing the queue
by Paul Menzel 23 May '20

23 May '20

From: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer(a)chromium.org> If SeaBIOS is run as a payload via coreboot (and presumably as a CSM), then it's possible the keyboard or mouse will still be enabled. This can lead to data being queued even after the flush function attempts to clear the queue. Disabling the keyboard/mouse prior to flushing is pretty standard in DOS programming so it's not surprising that it's needed here. I believe this problem manifests with the Chromebook Pixel. People have reported that sometimes the 'ESC to Select Boot Devices' doesn't work. I can reproduce this faithfully by holding 'Ctrl-L' in the firmware screen during SeaBIOS initialization. I can't test this fix on an actual Pixel because I don't know how to update SeaBIOS but I have tested the patch under QEMU. BUG=none TEST=Boot into SeaBIOS, press ESC, see it working.

There is still a kind of PS/2 keyboard issue.
by Keith Hui 22 May '20

22 May '20

Paul's recent dialogue about PS/2 keyboard in SeaBIOS reminds me that I am also suffering PS/2 keyboard issues on three mainboards that I am having with coreboot/SeaBIOS combo and need to ask here. The boards are P2B-LS, P3B-F and P8Z77-M all from Asus. The last one I'm doing a new port that is currently under review at coreboot. On those boards I almost never got PS/2 keyboard to work before my Linux kernel (4.4.14, soon 5.4.x) finishes booting and I get login prompt. Only on P3B-F it would work intermittently earlier. USB keyboards always worked right away. The PS/2 Keyboards I'm using are two pieces of classic: IBM Model M and the first Microsoft Natural. I am using SeaBIOS 1.13.0 which already carries commit dbf9dd27f which described and should have fixed the issue I'm having. I also tried tweaking with the PS/2 keyboard "spinup" timeout from 0 to 500 to 2500 to 3500ms with no noticeable difference. Now I'm stumped. Thanks Keith

[PATCH v2 1/3] boot: Extend `etc/show-boot-menu` to configure skipping boot menu with only one device
