Hrmm - I don't see this on my machine. Did you compile seabios yourself? Maybe it's being miscompiled on your machine. Can you try the elf at: http://linuxtogo.org/~kevin/SeaBIOS/bios.bin.elf-0.2.3 > Maybe that's what's happening, maybe it's something else, I'm still looking. > > Does the lack of VGA output give any hints? I have VGA output until > it jumps to the SeaBIOS, but nothing after that. It's very odd. From your log: Scan for VGA option rom Running option rom at 000c0003 That indicates that seabios found your vga rom and ran it. I don't know why you wouldn't see seabios' output on the screen. It can be pretty challenging to debug these problems. The only thing I can think of that will help is to try and increase the debug levels in src/config.h. I'm currently tracking down a boot failure with os/2 under qemu. Maybe the fix will improve booting on other OSes as well. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
