Without a vga bios, you're probably not going to be able to make much use of SeaBIOS. I wouldn't assume boot loaders will just "work" without one. There has been discussion of porting the open source vga bios to geode. Also, google announced a vga bios to serial converter that you could try. > XPe boot definitely didn't work then though.

One can verify this with qemu - without the vga bios it wont start. > Regarding a note in the other reply of yours - no, I don't have any > SuperIO, and therefore no PS/2 keyboard or the like.

Right - SeaBIOS doesn't have uhci/ohci support. It would be nice to add though. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
