On my epia-ml everything seems to work except the vgabios and /dev/ttyS1 the internal rs232 port.
It(ttyS1) works flawlessly on stock bios,
Did you test that using minicom with 115200 Baud, 8N1?
and kernel recognizes it on bootup (checked via dmesg) exactly identically on both stock and linuxbios, since my epia doesnt like usb hubs, and i've ran out of usb ports i'd like to get the seconds rs232 port working within linuxbios, and hints/tips are welcome.
I'm just guessing, but try to look at src/mainboard/via/epia-m/*.lb and src/superio/via/vt1211/vt1211.c. Either LinuxBIOS is simply not configured to enable ttyS1, or the code isn't there or incomplete or wrong (?)
Maybe it's even simpler? Did you attach the cable to the correct port? Did you configure minicom to use ttyS1 instead of ttyS0? Etc. etc.
