I have built LinuxBIOS for the amd/serenade target and I get about 600
lines of good output to the serial port, which ends with

 

Initializing devices...

PCI: 00:18.0 init

PCI: 00:18.3 init

NB: Function 3 Misc Control.. done.

PCI: 00:19.0 init

PCI: 00:19.3 init

NB: Function 3 Misc Control.. done.

PCI: 01:01.0 init

PCI: 01:02.0 init

PNP: 002e.0 init

POST: 0x00

POST: 0x00

POST: 0x00

POST: 0x00

POST: 0x00

POST: 0x00

 

The last line "POST: 0x00" repeats forever.  PC80/keyboard.c is trying
to initialize the keyboard.  The code that is running is

 

            /* empty input buffer or any other command/data will be lost
*/

            while ((inb(0x64) & 0x02))

                        post_code(0);

 

The inb(0x64) reads 0xff forever.  I heard that the keyboard
initialization may not be needed. 

How can I fix this?   Thanks.
