Some questions about GRUB

Some questions about GRUB

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Spasibo/Thank you, Andrey,

I understand. I am not able to set VGA mode somehow on Coreboot. I got the file core.elf after doing grub-install command (in /boot/grub/i386-coreboot/ directory), so I am using this file as a payload to Coreboot (have no idea if this is the correct approach)!?

What I have on my /etc/default/grub file is the following:
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console serial"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console serial vga_text"

Still not able to bring it to grub> prompt... Neither on serial console. :(

I have yet another question to all of you: Have anybody of you tried booting Win7 or Win8 using Coreboot or U-Boot? I guess, this is NOT possible, since there must be compatible UEFI BIOS, which will boot to Win7/Win8 loader, or to UEFI compatible GRUB.

Any thoughts about last question?

Thank you,
Zoran

You shouldn't use grub-install with coreboot. Here is my command:
pkgdatadir=. ./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -O 
i386-coreboot -o ~/x201coreboot/coreboot/payload.elf --modules='ahci 
ehci usbms part_msdos ext2 fat at_keyboard part_gpt usbserial_usbdebug

memrw iorw minicmd lsmmap lspci halt reboot hexdump pcidump setpci 
lsacpi boottime chain' --fonts= --themes= --locales= -d grub-core/ 
boot/grub/grub.cfg

To be run from your compile directory. You may need ohci/uhci modules, 
pata or appropriate filesystems.

There is no "console" on coreboot. Only vga_text for output and 
at_keyboard/usb_keyboard for input. Most likely you don't have 
appropriate modules in core.img for your install (I'm not sure it adds 
*hci/pata modules on coreboot the way it should)

You need to use either SeaBIOS or EFI for this. I launch seabios from 
GRUB. In my GRUB menu I have a choice between loading Linux or FreeBSD 
directly or go through SeaBIOS which allows i.a. go to windows (7 or 8 
would both work this way).
I have also other entries like OFW but their usefulness is limited.

Just curious - is it "not yet implemented" or there is some inherent
problem in supporting coreboot with grub-install?

Inherent problem: it's not a good idea to tie-up together a flash 
(relatively hard to be updated and where core.img is located) with HDD 
contents.

RE: Some questions about GRUB

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Dobrii denj/Hello Vladimir,

Your advices definitely move me forward, but I was not able still to boot to grub. The good thing, I see that postcodes changed. It was hanging to 0x00F8, now it is hanging at 0x00EE! Definitely, some progress.

I changed my /etc/default/grub file to the following:
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="usb_keyboard"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="serial vga_text"

I use grub_2.00 from tarball I found on grub.org . I tried to adopt your lengthy command, and here is what I have got:

pkgdatadir=. ./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -O i386-coreboot -o ~/projects/payload.elf --modules='ahci ehci usbms part_msdos ext2 fat at_keyboard part_gpt'

It does not recognize modules: usbserial, usbdebug and cbfs
It does not recognize command: --install-modules='...
It does not recognize commands: --fonts= --themes= --locales

It built for me payload.elf appr. 1.7M size. Good sign. I guess, it is misconfiguration which keeps me off the guard.

Do you have your command used/implemented maybe for latest grub (version 2.17??)? How I can get the latest released tarball (I see only 2.00). Can I use git clone command from your repo to clone latest grub source code snapshot?

Commands from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.html I do not understand, and they don't work for me.

Thank you,
Zoran

RE: Some questions about GRUB

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Hello Vladimir,

I managed to download GNU bazaar bzr and upgrade my Fedora 18 VM with this package. Then I executed the command:
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub

And downloaded latest GRUB 5091 source code tree revision, as you pointed to me:
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/changes

I executed configure as: [zoran@localhost grub]$ ./configure --with-platform=coreboot --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc
Then I started make. The following error appeared:
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/zoran/projects/grub-devel/grub/grub-core/gnulib'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/zoran/projects/grub-devel/grub/grub-core/gnulib'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/zoran/projects/grub-devel/grub/grub-core/gnulib'
Making all in .

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zoran/projects/grub-devel/grub'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I use latest upgrades from Fedora 18 (some packages version):
gcc version 4.7.2 20121109 (Red Hat 4.7.2-8) (GCC) 
GNU Make 3.82
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.18.1
flex 2.5.36
Python 2.7.3
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
automake (GNU automake) 1.12.2

Any clue (anybody) why this does happen?

Thank you,
Zoran

Some questions about GRUB

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2091 bytes --]

Hello Vladimir,

Again me... This time with more precise info.

I managed to download GNU bazaar bzr and upgrade my Fedora 18 VM with this package. Then I executed the command:
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub

And downloaded latest GRUB 5091 source code tree revision, as you pointed to me:
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/changes

I made with script ./autogen.sh and installed autogen configure and makefile.*, then I executed configure as:
[zoran@localhost grub]$ ./configure --with-platform=coreboot --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc

Then I did make, changed to superuser and did make install. Everything worked as expected (no errors).

Then instead to use install, I used your modified command:
[root@localhost bin]# pwd
/usr/local/bin

[root@localhost bin]# ./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -O i386-coreboot -o ~/projects/payload.elf --modules='ahci ehci usbms part_msdos ext2 fat at_keyboard part_gpt usbserial_usbdebug cbfs' --fonts= --themes= --locales= -d /usr/local/lib/grub/i386-coreboot

omitting --modules-install (in other words installing all modules)

Still, after integrating payload.elf into the coreboot, I was not able to see grub prompt...??? My IVB stops at Post Code 00F8, since I have rudiment of BIOS (SEC + PEI only) -> Coreboot -> GRUB
ME reconfigured to follow properly tiny BIOS + Coreboot. I guess, I am stalling while xfering to GRUB... I was able to boot from Coreboot to BuildRoot (BIOS (SEC + PEI only) -> Coreboot -> BR)!

What I am doing wrong? The target I do this for is INTEL Ivy Bridge CPU.

Any clues?

Best Regards,
Zoran

I don't see anything wrong with this. Have you triedit with qemu?

RE: Some questions about GRUB

Hello Vladimir,

Could you, please, explain to me bit more how I can try with qemu? I am novice with GRUB, but lot of experience with Open Source.

[Stojsavljevic, Zoran]

Hello Vladimir,

Two things: when I tried to auto generate latest grub-5107 , I got while doing make the following error:
[zoran@localhost grub-5107]$ ./autogen.sh 
[zoran@localhost grub-5107]./configure --with-platform=coreboot --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc
[zoran@localhost grub-5107]make

[snap]

gcc -o build-grub-mkfont -I./include  -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DGRUB_FILE=\"util/grub-mkfont.c\" -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include -I./grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/include -I./grub-core/lib/libgcrypt-grub/src/ -I./grub-core/gnulib -DGRUB_MKFONT=1 -DGRUB_UTIL=1 util/grub-mkfont.c grub-core/unidata.c grub-core/kern/emu/argp_common.c grub-core/kern/emu/misc.c util/misc.c grub-core/gnulib/progname.c

Back to grub-5091.

Qemu? I should try this web pointer: http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU#coreboot_v3_.2B_OpenBIOS ?
Which option should I use there? (maybe coreboot v3 + OpenBIOS)???
Do I need to install some package qemu on my Fedora 18 (qemu -L "foo" -hda "/dev/zero" -serial stdio)?

Thank you,
Zoran

Most of The Time you should be “intel inside” to be capable to think “out of the box”.

There is qemu port of coreboot. I'd try with this.
