That would have been me, I think. I'm not 100% sure we still have an s2882;
we only had one if I recall correctly. I can check later this week. Some
revision(s) it worked with are listed on http://www.coreboot.org/Tyan_S2882.
Those are revisions from the old SVN tree; you can grep the git log for the
svn revision number (it is listed); you'll see these are revisions from 2006.

I do have an s2881 that I booted succesfully about 5 or 6 weeks ago, with
coreboot head. It's a very similar board.

Have you tried with less ram?

Thanks,
Ward.
