(this is NOT recommeded at the moment if you have a NVMe drive. NVMe L1 substates might depend from the ME being operational. If that doesn't work your drive might end up undetected).

This seems to be purely wrong.

Also, Enable VMX for virtualization should be on.

Still, after clean compile, it seems that there is something wrong with ec as keyboard is not working and there are tons of wrong ec messages in dmesg

Please, try again rebuilding it with the current code. I am not seeing any error in dmesg,

I'll try, but for now libgfxinit is not working for me, I have the 2880x1920 screen though, I connected external screen, it's working, my internal display inits after kernel start (on sysresccd and with external monitor connected), but it can't find root partition (NVME) You have 1920x1200, how is your screen connected?

Here's the old motherboard pic http://www.cnmod.cn/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/004-1024x768.png my display is connected with another port, not the red box one, also I have to use a switch (EDP/LVDS switcher) to replace initing screen

harrykipper commented 5 years ago

Ok, so you have a motherboard from the previous batch, while mine's from the third. You should build coreboot with blobs (especially the ME) from your stock firmware, as they are likely to be different. Where is your screen connected, if not to the eDP port? Mine is connected to the eDP, the white one in the red box, and I also had to connect the LVDS cable. Could you please extract the vbt from your stock bios (it's in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_vbt) and post the output of intel_vbt_decode vbt.bin | grep T3?

Kokokokoka commented 5 years ago

No. I have a laptop from the third branch, it was the only photo in the net with board (from a brief search). Mine Is connected to the eDP port, as far as I can see from the old branch pic. I had only LVDS setup before, when I was using the x201 display. I don't have my stock bios image anymore, sadly. nv126a1m-n52 is the part number of the screen. The strange thing is that it inits with external display (when kernel is booting) and with a strange resolution (external display is 1920x1080)

cp -r x210_test/src/mainboard/51nb coreboot/src/mainboard/ cp -r x210_test/src/ec/51nb coreboot/src/ec/ to cp -r coreboot-x210_test/src/mainboard/51nb coreboot/src/mainboard/ cp -r coreboot-x210_test/src/ec/51nb coreboot/src/ec/ ... as far as i remember path to vbt.bin is worng it is in the root (while in guide mainb/ same for ec.bin

I've managed to build latest coreboot without any issues, next I'll try the libgfxinit.

...

The .config provided sets the path of vbt.bin to 3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/51nb as the rest of the blobs.

Kokokokoka commented 5 years ago

Yes, I was using the internal config from one of your previous builds. Still, please, fix the:

cp -r coreboot-x210_test/src/mainboard/51nb coreboot/src/mainboard/
cp -r coreboot-x210_test/src/ec/51nb coreboot/src/ec/
