seabios bug: fail to find etc/boot-fail-wait
by Amos Kong 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

./qemu-upstream-latest -boot reboot-timeout=1000 ... (after boot failed, VM waits for 1000 ms and try to reboot) reboot-timeout parameter doesn't work now, I found this regression bug was introduced by commit 59d6ca52a7eba5b1f4f2becf70fd446dccaf0a2e > Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> > Date: Thu May 31 00:20:55 2012 -0400 > > Cache romfile entries. > > Create a 'struct romfile_s' and populate a list of all romfiles at > start of init. Caching the romfiles both simplifies the code and > makes it more efficient. > > Also, convert the ramdisk code to use romfile helpers instead of > directly accessing cbfs. romfile_add() is used to add rom files in the list. When seabios calls boot_fail(), the list becomes empty, romfile_find("etc/boot-fail-wait", ..) returns NULL. it seems the list items are released prematurely. Thanks, Amos

I think it is indeed a problem with SeaBIOS. (git.seabios.org (80.81.252.135) seems to be down ATM, so I can only check at f465e1ec.)

The value of HaveRunPost depends on the PAM settings. It's always 0 in ROM, in which case we continue at handle_post() [src/post.c]. Laszlo

[PATCH v2] pciinit: Enable default VGA device
by Alex Williamson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

As QEMU gains PCI bridge and PCIe root port support, we won't always find the VGA device on the root bus. We therefore need to add support to find and enable a VGA device and the path to it through the VGA Enable support in the PCI bridge control register.

[Qemu PATCH] add a boot option to do strict boot
by Amos Kong 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first, if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from un-selected devices. We need to make it configurable. I already posted a seabios patch to add a new device type to halt booting. Qemu can add "HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt booting after trying to boot from selected devices. This option only effects when boot priority is changed by bootindex options, the old style(-boot order=..) will still try to boot from un-selected devices.

That won't work on the x60? I just found out that the bar2 where the framebuffer is on the x60 isn't mapped correctly: common.c maps the framebuffer and then I do that with the virtual address: (gdb) set {int}0xa7d38000 = 0xff (gdb) p/x {int}0xa7d38000 $1 = 0x0 0xa7d38000 points or at the beginning of the bar, or at address of the framebuffer(I took it from the kernel with kgdb). I am told by phcoder on IRC that I've to activate the access to VRAM... Denis.

[PATCH 0/8] Floppy cleanup and fixes for latest QEMU
by Kevin O'Connor 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Recent versions of QEMU are picky about the data rate specified when performing floppy transfers (see QEMU commit 844f65d6). This broke the SeaBIOS handling of legacy disk sizes (eg, 360K). This series cleans up the low-level floppy transfer code and adds in media sensing code to make old floppies work under QEMU again. (It's unclear if this will improve handling on real hardware.) -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (8): Minor - improve comments and grouping of handle_08(). floppy: Introduce 'struct floppy_pio_s' for floppy PIO ops. floppy: Cleanup floppy irq wait handling. floppy: Clean up Check Interrupt Status code. floppy: Move recalibration and results parsing to floppy_cmd(). floppy: Improve floppy_pio() error checking. floppy: Implement media format sensing. floppy: Actually do controller reset in floppy_reset(). src/biosvar.h | 2 +- src/clock.c | 6 +- src/floppy.c | 552 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- 3 files changed, 321 insertions(+), 239 deletions(-) -- 1.7.11.7

[PATCH 0/2] Use extra stack for all 16bit irq entry points
by Kevin O'Connor 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

This series creates a config option for using the "extra stack" for all legacy 16bit irq entry points, and it defaults the option on. By using this internal stack, SeaBIOS doesn't use much of the caller's stack and it makes it less likely a stack overflow will occur. However, using an internal stack could break programs that call the BIOS in 16bit protected mode. This series was discussed about a year ago. There haven't been any examples located where this breaks OSes, and it is known to improve some really old OSes (eg, DOS 1.0). It is a config option, so if it can be disabled to aid in testing.

i915 status on x60.
by Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi, I've been working with ron minnich on trying to avoid the non-free vga option rom for the i915. Personally I target the x60 for now. After porting to the x60 I'll probably try to find a T60 with an intel card in order to port to it. Right now, I've got the screen that powers on, and even backlight if I add the option rom generated by SeaBIOS(it freezes after it though), however I've only a strange pattern on the screen...and my goal is to have graphics in SeaBIOS and grub(most important),by whatever mean,but without using the non-free i915 option rom. The code is here: http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2559/ And the SeaBIOS code will also follow. As stated it isn't usable yet so it shouldn't be merged. Denis.
