r/coreboot

Is it me or does this seem to be an increasing trend? Is there a link from other subreddits? I was going to ask if /r/libreboot has a similar issue but it seems they went private due to spam.

If this is itself spam. I'll remove it.

Guys in the new government laptop.. My friend deleted amd files in registry.. And then that's all it went to recovery mode... I tried flash. It went like 70% installation then returned to BIOS menu.... Now what should I do? Need help! Also it's stuck in BIOS I can't save and exit too

Please need help!

Hello, I have recently gotten thinkpad t420 which I then librebooting (paid somebody to do it since it involved complete disassembly) but yesterday i found out that display port on the machine is hardwired to discrete Nvidia GPU (NVS 4200m) so in my current setup it doesnt work which is big problem for me. I know that it is possible to make discrete nvidia gpus work on coreboot with injecting binary blobs but i cannot find any documentation on where to find these blobs. I plan to do this flashing myself since i know you can reflash from libreboot to coreboot internally without the need for disassembly. I would be very thankful to anyone who can guide me to correct sources for this.

TLDR: Where to find and how to properly inject binary blob into coreboot so the discrete gpu will work.

recently, i'm read the Mainboard-specific docs on coreboot website and for ThinkCentre M710s (sff i believe) the me_cleaner is not working (with no additional info whatsoever), but theirs no info for M700 / M900 Tiny - how they behave when me_cleaner is applying? Does anyone test on of those? I know that it is "kabby lake" generation and theres probly the intel boot guard, but since this can be flashed with coreboot, mb its possible to use me_cleaner as well?

My computer became bricked because I installed the wrong AYANEO 2 BIOS.

Please share the stock dump file if you have one.

[Need help pls] Fresh install of libreboot on thinkpad t480 intel i5.
When grub is loading it cannot detect my previous arch install (which was efi booted so I get it) nor any of the bootable usb stick with arch installed (and or parabola).
From grub cli:
I do “set root=<boot partition/usb stick>”
I cannot use any .efi file with chainloader as it returns “error: unrecognize payload type”
I am able to somewhat boot the os with “linux vmlinuz-linux” and “initrd initramfs-linux.img” from my previous efi boot setup.

However when arch boot an error pops up :
“Failed to start Switch Root
See ‘systemctl status initrd=switch-root.service’ for details […]
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for more details
Press enter to continue”
With no possibility to enter a terminal.

When booting on archiso the issue is similar, entering in emergency mode however I have access to the shell.

I have a backup of my uefi but Iwould really like to make libreboot work.

Thank you for your time.

PS: I tried multiple usb sticks for the iso install.

[RESOLVED] Archiso booted perfectly for no reason after a few hours. I don’t know why.

Hey there! I've got a Panasonic Toughbook CF-54 (MK-3) that I've already ran ME-cleaner on. I want to go a step further, though, and use coreboot for my system. Looking online, I can't exactly see if there is an available port, if not, how hard is porting it myself?

7th Gen i5-7300u (kabylake, ddr4) for reference. Don't know anything else pertinent to coreboot variants.
