Personally I don't see any reason for branching, if 99% of the rest of coreboot code (payloads etc.) is compatible. This will only get us outdated for these components on this branch, which otherwise could (and should) be kept simultaneously up-to-date to get the latest goodies. So, just make two f

Hi everyone, Thanks for your efforts to keep a computing legend alive. :) I suffered an unexpected exception after applying the patch train. Serial log at the end of this email. I probably could leave out bootblock/romstage/postcar, but it's here for completeness. Next: bisect. I do still have a

Hi Keith Thanks a lot for testing! It looks like the newer parallel mp code uses "mfence" which is probably not supported by your CPU. I updated the code to reflect that. I'd appreciate if you can test the latest version of https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/59693/ Kind regards On Tue, Nov

Hi guys, Just a heads-up. Soon after I confirmed the issue with Arthur's patches (and he told us of his fix), I ran into major stability issues with all my boards to the point I couldn't reliably boot any of them. Granted they were sitting naked between a desk lamp and the power supply so EMI coul

I tested https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/59693/ nb/intel/i440bx: Use PARALLEL_MP patchset 6 on my p2-99 and it appears to work properly. The work around of disabling including the config in the rom to free up space wasn't enough with this patchset though, so I just disabled including micr
