Have you tried ram_check() in auto.c? Sounds like you may have some
memory initialization problems like I was having. You can try this:
1. Enable debugging output in raminit.c, build and run to get the bootlog.
/* Uncomment this to enable debugging output. */
#define DEBUG_RAM_SETUP 1
2. As root with the factory bios do a lspci -xxx.
3. Compaire the 00:00.0 Host bridge from lspci -xxx to the Northbridge
following SDRAM init: PCI: 00:00.00 from your bootlog. Especially the
DRB registers. I had two DRB registers that were supposed to be
reserved but they are not. I set those and boom it booted:-)
Hope that helps.
Thanks - Joe
