Danke vielmals Patrick and many thanks to everyone else,
So, I decided to take your advice about switching (back to) FILO using the latest version (svn 103) and latest libpayload (svn 4505) but am still having problems recognizing my First Partition on the Primary Master IDE device, namely hda1. Specifically, using the FILO build settings specified here: http://coreboot.pastebin.com/f4e644a72
How did you change that configuration, simply by editing .config, or by going through the "make config" routine? Editing .config doesn't adapt the files in build/, so it should always be completed with a "make oldconfig" (and then look if it took your values or overwrote it with something else due to dependencies) To be extra careful, always run "make clean" after changing the configuration to force a full build.
Anyway, since my menu.lst could not be loaded, I typed in the full boot command replete with kernel boot parameters, and as you can see I got a generic error stating that FILO could not find Device 0 (obviously meaning it could not find hda1). So, I'm not sure if this is a problem with FILO, but it seems much more likely I have some errant settings in Coreboot which is not allowing FILO to see my drives. Does anyone have any ideas?
The device numbering might be weird at times. It's reasonably stable once you found the right device name, but it can differ from what you see elsewhere, so try hdb, hdc, and hdd, too.
