If I use seabios as a payload and leave CONFIG_BOOTMENU enabled, seabios hangs on boot - but it's not entirely dead as pushing num lock, caps lock or scroll lock results in this on the serial console:

I tracked the hang down to the line
while (get_keystroke(0) >= 0) ;Okay - that's a new one. Something went wrong in the keyboard code. Can you increase the keyboard debug level by setting the following in src/config.h:
#define DEBUG_ISR_09 1 #define DEBUG_HDL_16 1
I wonder if something corrupted the BDA. Have you tried with option roms disabled?
Yes. Log here:

If I disable CONFIG_BOOTMENU, seabios does not hang but things go pretty badly:

The IRQs seem to be messed up, and there seem to be some serious SATA issues with the AHCI driver segfaulting and no sata drives being properly detected by the kernel.
The IRQs are probably messed up because the bios tables aren't being copied. Please apply the patch below to coreboot (after adjusting the memory size for your machine).
The patch you sent assumed one GB of ram, right? I reduced the amount of ram in the system to 1GB. The patch does not appear to help.
Logs here:
Boot menu enabled (keeps printing the debug output indefinitely):

Boot menu disabled (boots somewhat, like before):

Any further thoughts?
Thanks, Ward.
