initialization. This patch has helped immensely to track down a bug in 690G ncHT init. It depends on my earlier patch which enables CONFIG_USE_PRINTK_IN_CAR for all boards using HT. Of course that means ROMCC is not an option anymore for those boards, but I don't think that's a big problem. Another way to solve this would be #defining printk_spew to nothing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coreboot README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ Coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website: http://www.coreboot.org You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list: http://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on coreboot is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
