I already have the coreboot toolchain built and everything, ive tried building coreboot like 500 times and it just doesnt work for some reason, i even tried compiling it on my other laptop and i got the same issue
please help
I don't want to have to deal with installing coreboot and would rather have everything set up for me and in theory libgfxinit should work fine on libreboot and I have seen people run ivybridge cpu's on the T420 using coreboot and libgfxinit, but the only post I was able to find of someone trying to use a librebooted T420 with an ivybridge CPU claimed they were having graphical issues. I am planning to install an i7-3632QM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all!
Been having a lot of fun figuring out how to flash old laptops. Managed to libreboot my T480 and now trying to get my x280 going, the x280 has been more of a pain in the ass though. I've tried building from source via libreboot, and I've tried just building coreboot myself as well.
Immediately after flashing (both coreboot/grub2 and libreboot) it appears to work. It gets stuck trying to boot from the NVME drive, and then the screen starts to throw out nonsense/random characters/random colors (in the case of libreboot) and then goes black. When I try to restart, the power button and f1 button just flash on and off intermittently.
I did also flash the thunderbolt chip. I had confirmed that it didn't break anything when the stock BIOS was on the x280. I checked the version and it's on version 20+, the non broken version I'm pretty sure.
Has anyone seen this before?
Pastebin below of config + output during build:
I have a video of the intermittent flashing if anyone needs it.
I've tried going to the libreboot irc channel at different times but doesn't seem to get any response. Also, given that this is happening with coreboot as well, I'm not so sure it's limited to libreboot.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was able to briefly boot from a Mint bootable USB, but it had exhibited the same behavior of the screen going wacky soon after. I also forgot to mention that if I unplug the CMOS battery for some time, it's able to run Libreboot/GRUB for a few minutes before it crashes again.
EDIT 2: Forgot to mention I only see (memdisk) and (cbfsdisk) in GRUB. Even when I attach a USB drive.
I wanted to build coreboot for my Desktop: The HP Compaq 8300 Elite CMT(convertible minitower)
on the HP website basically all the following models (8300 Elite CMT/SFF/USDT and 6300 Pro MT/SFF) use the same bios files, with the 6300 being the closest(down to the SuperIO)
i am aware of their physical difference, but since the 6300 Pro variant is the closest to the CMT variant, i was wondering if i can build for that and flash my desktop with it?

Hola estoy pensando en cómprame una t14 o una t480 para coreboot, si se que la t14 no tiene soporte pero ya que la t480 en mi Pais es algo difícil de conseguir y la t14 se encuentra por todos lados y al ser la asesora de la t480 pensé que en un futuro la t14 tenga soporte para coreboot
Y su se está planeando o se an adelantado proyectos para que tenga soporte?
Y si ese fuera el caso que generación debería comprar gen 1,gen 2?
Supongo que la gen 1 ya que entre más avanza la generación más capas de firmware se implementan
Espero sus respuestas gracias
