  At any rate, Myles, maybe you should bump the
coreboot rev for s2895
 in buildrom to the one you have confirmed working?
 I always argued for buildrom
using the latest version of Coreboot.  In this
 case the payload (SeaBIOS) continued to evolve.
 Yeah - but having a 'known good' combination in buildrom is quite useful too.
That's what I'm saying.  Since we don't have SeaBIOS versioned (we
would have had to bump it many times since January), It wasn't known
good anymore.  I don't see an easy solution since we have so few
buildrom users to scream when things break.

  I guess
there's no good way around bit rot.  I'm hoping that we'll continue
 to improve the v2 build process enough that there will be no need for
 buildrom except to build payloads.
 Yep. I want to/need to take a stab at converting buildrom to use CBFS. Ah,
 time...
:)
