Could you give me a little more verbose info? If CAR is not working,
printk should not work (or at least crash directly after the first
call). Having the ROM not mapped also looks weird.
I don't doubt your description, I'm just trying to understand it.
In theory, the different cache behaviour of the C7 on poweron could be
related... can you try issuing a reset from inside coreboot and check if
the same problem appears after your deliberate reset? Oh, and please
check how the processor behaves if you press the reset button. I hope to
find a pattern here.

Carl-Daniel
