Believe it or not, tried my old LinuxBIOS2.0.0 build using filo on a softboot (no power off, just reset) and found it booted into filo!
Seems it's stalling at raminit on cold boots. I have a diff of logs just in case anybody's curious.
Yes, please show us that log. I had a hand in bringing the 440BX ram init up to code. :P
src/mainboard/abit/be6-ii_v2_0/devicetree.cb src/mainboard/a-trend/atc-6220/devicetree.cb src/mainboard/azza/pt-6ibd/devicetree.cb
Using the abit/be6-ii_v2_0 target, stalled on INT10
Now this is where the fun starts, because I just accidentally flashed the ROM instead of the BIOS Saver device. ug.
Ouch. Is the BIOS chip socketed? Is there another machine you can use to hot flash the chip?

Build a new image with SeaBIOS as the payload, and have SeaBIOS, not coreboot, run the VGA option ROM. The VGA BIOS is calling on some BIOS functions that coreboot does not provide. Who knows what will happen.
Maybe you can try starting off from ASUS P2B instead. Same hardware mostly, and some ACPI work was done on it recently and we got them to sort of work.
Hang in there! I'd love to see another 440BX board gaining support.
