[U-Boot-Users] Calling show_boot_progress() whenever POST "FAILED" is printed.

[Jon Diekema]

Product:

- u-boot

Version:

- 1.0.2

CHANGELOG:

- Calling show_boot_progress() whenever POST "FAILED" is printed.

Background:

- We ran into a board that is having memory failure.  On bootup
  it reports:

  ...
  DRAM:  128MB
  Memory error at 0700053c, wrote ffffffff, read ffffffdd !
  POST memory FAILED
  FLASH:  2MB
  Net:   FCC2 ETHERNET
  POST cpu PASSED
  Autobooting...

  Then it attempts to boot, gets a kernel panic, and resets after 180
  seconds.  The problem is the POST memory failure never gets flagged
  anywhere other than the serial output, so unless you watch the
  serial output for it, the only indication is a crash and reset.

CVS Comments:

- Calling show_boot_progress() whenever POST "FAILED" is printed.
