2200 (too many names, sounds like a criminal).
1) Linuxbios loads kernel A; kernel A loads kernel B. Everything works
fine.
2) Then I push the reset button.
3) Linuxbios loads kernel A; kernel A loads kernel B. Kernel B complains
about wrong checksum of the mptable and crushes later.
An investigation showed that in 3), short after kernel A (v2.6.19.2)
sets
the Bus Master Enable bit of the nVidia's USB1 controller
(pci_set_master()),
the mptable gets two bytes at physical address 0x80 damaged.
Nothing is plugged to the USB ports. Other two Sun workstations had the
same
behavior. This does not make sense to me unless the controller has a HW
bug.
I believe, this should better be fixed in the kernel USB driver.
For now this patch offers a possibility for linuxbios to reset the USB
controller by setting HostControllerReset bit in HcCommandStatus
Register.
It is enablead by using 'register "usb1_hc_reset"="1"' in 'chip
southbridge/nvidia/ck804' section of the mainboard's Config.lb.

Linuxbios boots an Opteron motherboard with 1GB memory.
Linuxbios directly loads a recent linux kernel.
The memory layout is like this:
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000000e18 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000e18 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000c0000 - 00000000000f0000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 00000000000f0400 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0400 - 0000000040000000 (usable)
The f0000-f0400 region contains IRQ and ACPI tables.
At some point the kernel builds a resource table containing
all physical address ranges and type of hardware the addresses
are mapped to. The table is accessible via /proc/iomem:
# cat /proc/iomem
00000000-00000e17 : reserved
00000e18-0009ffff : System RAM
000a0000-000bffff : Video RAM area
000c0000-000cbfff : Video ROM
000f0000-000fffff : System ROM
e0000000-efffffff : PCI Bus #03
e0000000-efffffff : 0000:03:00.0
f0000000-f3ffffff : GART
f4000000-f60fffff : PCI Bus #03
f4000000-f4ffffff : 0000:03:00.0
f5000000-f5ffffff : 0000:03:00.0
f6000000-f601ffff : 0000:03:00.0
f6100000-f6100fff : 0000:00:01.0
f6101000-f6101fff : 0000:00:02.0
f6101000-f6101fff : ohci_hcd
f6102000-f6102fff : 0000:00:04.0
f6103000-f6103fff : 0000:00:07.0
f6103000-f6103fff : sata_nv
f6104000-f6104fff : 0000:00:08.0
f6104000-f6104fff : sata_nv
f6105000-f6105fff : 0000:00:0a.0
f6106000-f61060ff : 0000:00:02.1
f6200000-f620ffff : 0000:40:01.0
As you can see, the 00000000000f0400-0000000040000000
region is not listed.
It is not listed because the kernel unconditionally adds
"000f0000-000fffff : System ROM" first (look for
"request_resource(&iomem_resource, &system_rom_resource)"),
and then the attempt to add f0400-40000000 range fails
because of overlapping.
The kernel does not care that the range is not listed there.
Kexec does. It uses the /proc/iomem file to instruct the
kexec system call how to place the segments of a new kernel
in the physical memory. Kexec fails to start a new kernel
because it cannot locate enough physical memory.
This must be fixed either in linux or linuxbios.
Assuming that linuxbios is to be fixed, I cooked a patch
which provides this memory layout:
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000000e18 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000e18 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000c0000 - 00000000000f0000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000040000000 (usable)
The /proc/iomem contains:
# cat /proc/iomem

the Eaglelion 5bcm mainboard.
Warning: this is work in progress!
As of now, it does boot with serial console only (no vga), and two ethernet
cards work sometimes. This has to do with the IRQ assignments, which are a
complete mess. USB is now apparently working, but I can't make any device
to be recognized.
The PCI slot is still unusable due to the IRQ thing.
Audio, other serial ports, irda, floppy and paralell port support is
unknown aka untested yet.
