I assume, you ran this with administrator privileges. But, newer Linux
kernels forbid access to that region.

In recent Linux kernels, there is a module for that.

`sudo modprobe memconsole_coreboot` should load it, and then the logs
should be available under `/sys/firmware/log`.

If you don’t have that, please pass the parameter `iomem=relaxed` to
the Linux kernel. For example, by pressing `e` in the GRUB menu.
