Paul,
Attached please find the console log for coreboot and seabios (not really anything).
Since my board does not have a physical VGA adapter. I did not configure anything for VGA in coreboot. Do I need to configure anything to tell coreboot to load the sgabios? As you can see in the log, there is nothing indicating coreboot loading the sgabios.
Thanks!
Wen
PS: I set my outlook to send plain text. Hope the setting works. :-)

I am experimenting Coreboot on an Intel Rangeley based system using Seabios (master) as payload. The system does not have VGA adapter. So I added sgabios.
welcome to coreboot! Please note that the official spelling of coreboot is all lowercase. (Also SeaBIOS.)

However I don't see Seabios boot menu on console. The system pauses after Seabios is loaded and then starts OS. There is no problem with Coreboot and Linux console output, but no output from Seabios is seen at all on the console.

Seabios (master) is pulled and automatically built as part of the coreboot build. During the build, it popped out a menu to for VGA hardware
type.
VGA Hardware Type
- None (NO_VGABIOS)
- GeodeGX2 (VGA_GEODEGX2)
- GeodeLX (VGA_GEODELX)
- coreboot linear framebuffer (VGA_COREBOOT) (NEW)
choice[1-4]:
I tried both 1 and 4. Neither of them seem to work. Did I miss something?
I did not spot anything. Could you please attach/paste the whole coreboot and SeaBIOS log?
Thanks,
Paul
PS: Could you please just send plain text messages, that means no HTML, to the list? Big thanks in advance.
