Please don't assume. When something is unclear, creating an opportunity for assumption, then documentation and/or code should be improved, so that no assumption is needed. > not that Linux does not find the ROM at all.

Which option ROM option are you talking about? Please be specific, use the CONFIG_ name. And since discussion now covers both coreboot and SeaBIOS it helps further if you specify which project the particular option is in. There are use cases both for coreboot running option ROMs and SeaBIOS running option ROMs, regardless of how SeaBIOS was started. I tend to agree that coreboot should default to not run option ROMs, and possibly the SeaBIOS configuration generated by the coreboot build files should enable SeaBIOS running the option ROM in that case, but it's not trivial to find a way that makes sense for every case. Feel free to think about it and propose an improvement, it can probably be better than it is at the moment. //Peter
