Hello Nico,
I suspect some misconfiguration or that something confuses the libpay- load VGA driver (which these two secondary payload rely on).
This might be true, but I don't understand why I can see the SeaBios Menu (Press ESC) and can also use graphical boot (Windows and Qubes OS) but the secondary payloads don't work. Can you check my .config especially the setting for the VGA device?
If you thing I"ve missed out important steps, I am happy to hear your comments.
Don"t think you missed anything [...] But you might do too much already. Especially flashing anything but the BIOS region when you want to track down coreboot issues makes things harder to reason about.
I had the seconday payloads booting when lynxis did the coreboot flashing. But we flashed without adding a vga-rom so that I couldn't boot into windows. I've extracted the vga rom and then tried to rebuild coreboot, but I seem to miss some configuration to get graphical boot (vga rom) and secondary payload boot running.
I've seen the following option in make nconfig for coreboot under "General Setup": │ [*] Include the coreboot .config file into the ROM image │
QUESTION: How can I extract this .config file? I could then extract this from my first flashing together with lynxis to see which settings have been applied there.
Please attach your .config file. Nobody can say anything for sure with-out knowing what you chose.
I've attached the config file and will also list the activated options here: (only enabled options are shown):
[General Setup] │ [*] Use CMOS for configuration values │ [*] Compress ramstage with LZMA │ [*] Include the coreboot .config file into the ROM image │ [*] Create a table of timestamps collected during boot │ -*- Build the ramstage to be relocatable in 32-bit address space
