Hello Patrick,

That is a good point about rom mapping. According to the 8111 document,
only the top 64KB is decoded by default. Simnow confirms this, and
won't boot the DL145 G1coreboot image. Dumping the start of the 512KB
image shows it is not decoded:

-d fff80000
FFF80000-FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF   FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF

If I manually issue these PCI config writes while execution is still
in the top 64KB, the entire 512KB is decoded and simnow will boot
the coreboot image:

// write to AMD 8131 Link Command Register BUID field (bits 16-20)
// with value 2 so that the 8111 can be accessed:
-epcid 0 0 0 c0 00420008 // bus 0, dev 0, fun 0, reg 0xc0

// write to AMD 8111 Rom Decode Control Register and set bit 7
// to enable LPC memory decoding of the top 4MB of 4GB space:
-epcib 0 1 0 43 80 // bus 0, dev 1, fun 0, reg 0x43

-d fff80000
FFF80000-4C 41 52 43 48 49 56 45   00 00 06 F0 00 00 01 AA
LARCHIVE........

A couple of PCI config writes similar to these should get it going.

Thanks,
Scott
