Known Issues

RAM

  • Using 2 512 MB DIMMs I got 756 MB of usable RAM (as opposed to 881 with the vendor BIOS).
  • With only 1 512 MB DIMM the system wouldn't boot.
  • With my 4 DIMMS from 3 vendors (2x A, 1x B, 1x C) I get the following boot chances:
RAM and booting
DIMM configuration Boots?
A/A Yes
A No
A/A/B/C No
B/C/A/A Yes

SATA

  • Sometimes the link seems slow. It doesn't happen every boot. If it happens, SeaBios needs a long time to load grub. Also, the devicenodes in /dev are not in the right order according to the ports on the board. There are also the following messages during boot:
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
ata2: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
ata2: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
Apart from the slowness all 5 ports seemed to work.
  • If the above error didn't occur all 5 ports seemed to work flawlessly.
  • It seems this error only occurs for the first time after a BIOS switch. With the proposed patches (fix and cleanup from 10/08/16) even the vendor bios triggers a kernel panic upon first boot after coreboot was loaded. Something about IRQ issues.

Onboard VGA

  • In regard to the vendor BIOS the output numbers were switched. DVI-0 (vendor BIOS) was named HDMI-0 using coreboot.
  • Both VGA and DVI output worked.

PCI-E graphics adapter

  • Wouldn't work. With both plugged in and CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA_ONBOARD_AT_FIRST not set there was no video output. I had the vgabios for the onboard adapter still inside the coreboot.rom however.

Keyboard in Grub

  • The (USB) keyboard in Grub doesn't respond correctly. Every keypress triggers multiple actions.

Kernel

  • Linux 2.6.35.2 wouldn't boot. It would start, then the screens were going blank and the machine hung.
