The other interesting problem I have is that when I cold boot into SeaBIOS, the drives aren't detected. If I restart the machine after this happens, it won't boot fully into Linux until I boot the factory BIOS. This doesn't happen if I stop the boot process by holding reset until the drives spin up on cold boot.
Isn't this the classic problem where coreboot/seabios are ready before the drives are? If so it's a 10 year old problem, which we have fixed several times in other places. I note kevin now has a fix in :-)
Yes. The interesting part was that Linux won't boot when reset after a failure. I was wondering what was getting misconfigured. It's strange for grub to be able to load the kernel, but then not have the kernel be able to configure the drives.
