Leah Rowe b1fba0e103 roll back memtest86+ revision
works around a build error with gcc 7.5. the patches being removed

you must de-solder the default chip and install the new one.

Leah Rowe cca23ac713 nuke d8/d16 configs for 4mb/8mb setups. only have 2mb and 16mb configs
4mb and 8mb users can just pad their roms to 16mb, using the instructions on
<https://libreboot.org/faq.html#how-do-i-pad-a-rom-before-flashing>

maintaining them in lbmk is a waste of time, and also a hazard because it's a
lot of duplicated labour when making any changes, which could result in awful
mistakes being made

Leah Rowe c2720c58e7 lenovo/t400: Enable all SATA ports (add persmule's patch)
See:
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-08/msg00063.html>

This enables all SATA ports, allowing full T400s compatibility. T400s already
works just fine, when flashing a T400 ROM, but not all SATA ports were usable.

The specific patch is here:
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-08/txtgT_L8DC94R.txt>

There was also this patch, which coreboot actually adapted upstream:
<https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-08/txtMXyws85Q_P.txt>

Yes, this patch was submitted in 2016. I overlooked it, during all this time.

Leah Rowe eec4dcd97e grub.cfg: scan grub.cfg on lvm first, before crypto volumes
In most LUKS setups, the user configured LVM, so doing this check first will
increase boot speeds.

Leah Rowe 37ebccb8a8 grub.cfg: don't handle usb at all in the main menuentry
usb support is extremely buggy in grub, and can cause boot delay issues

Leah Rowe ebeeff6969 grub.cfg: don't run search_grub usb in the main menuentry
There is literally an entire other menuentry just for this purpose.
2021-10-31 17:17:05 +00:00
Leah Rowe 7c998b4538 grub.cfg: search usb *last*, in the main menuentry
There is already a separate menuentry for USB, and most people don't boot their
installed system from USB anyway. This will result in faster boot speeds.

Leah Rowe 62fa042a17 re-add grub backgrounds and update grub. mitigate missing characters
mitigate missing characters in unifont for border/arrow characters. this saves
space because now it is no longer necessary to add a custom font

the background added has the libreboot logo on it, and it's 10kb in size unlike
the old gnulove background that was hundreds of KB

Leah Rowe 49198fe3d1 Disable PIKE2008 option ROM loading on KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8
These option ROMs are known to cause a system hang. If you insert an empty
option ROM into CBFS, it disables any option ROM loading for those devices
when using SeaBIOS.

Leah Rowe 4e093b3ecc grub.cfg: increase default timeout to 10 seconds
this is a compromise. i was going to do 30 for desktops, 1 for laptops.
however, some laptop users complain about the 1 second timeout being too fast.
10 seconds should just about please everyone.

Leah Rowe f195282d90 grub.cfg patch from shmalebx9: reverse search order for encrypted partitions
Also, when a cryptomount is successful, break from the loop and boot from that.
In most cases, this will work just fine, and this change improves the boot
speed in the vast majority of cases.
