Re: [Libreboot-dev] ga-g41m-es2l release candidate testing

[Niclas Hoyer]

Hi,

I did another test using experimental-86-g07ed7f9.

Every tested configuration is working now, except the KVR800D2N6/4G that
I suspect is defect.

So tested ram modules from my side booting to Trisquel GNU/Linux:

 - Samsung M378T2953EZ3-CE6 1GB
 - Samsung M378T5663FB3-CF7 2GB
 - Kingston KVR800D2N6/1G 1GB
 - Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G 2GB    
 - Corsair VS1GB667D2 1GB

Full details and serial logs:
