BTW, what are you using for a vgabios? I thought geode didn't have a vga bios available.
I am not using a VGA BIOS at all.
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. It probably does rely on VGA BIOS at start, but after that the native driver takes over.
You'll need the vga bios for xp. 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. I only have a USB keyboard and that I believe is not supported yet by SeaBIOS. I have OHCI not UHCI, as a non-Intel chipset (unless I'm mixing the two again).
Right - SeaBIOS doesn't have uhci/ohci support. It would be nice to add though.
