I found the issue with epia-m and vga. I am now succesfully booting my epia-m with filo and fc9 - everything seems to work the same as with the factory bios (except coreboot is faster).
The problem is related to the wiki site at:
http://www.coreboot.org/VIA_Epia-M%2C_MII_Build_Tutorial
It has an incorrect command for extracting the vga bios. When I use a correct command - for example:
dd if=/dev/mem of=video.bios.bin.4 bs=65536 count=1 skip=12
Then the extracted vga bios boots fine and enables vga console.
Is vga console working for you with just the use of the properly extracted vga BIOS or do you have to use BOCHS as well?
