Build a new image with SeaBIOS as the payload, and have SeaBIOS, not coreboot, run the VGA option ROM. The VGA BIOS is calling on some BIOS functions that coreboot does not provide. Who knows what will happen.
Maybe you can try starting off from ASUS P2B instead. Same hardware mostly, and some ACPI work was done on it recently and we got them to sort of work.
Hang in there! I'd love to see another 440BX board gaining support.

OK. Since you asked for it. I'll email directly to you. When I diff the two logs, you can blatantly see lines 59, 64, 70, ... not identical between cold & warm boots. And, these lines correspond to the RAM chips initialization.
I'm thinking, as I think as it's been stated in the past 3+ years, get RAM init corrected and the rest of the hangs might likely resolve themselves.

Ouch. Is the BIOS chip socketed? Is there another machine you can use to hot flash the chip?
NP here. I had bios saver installed and just had to refresh myself on how it works. I yanked & stored the original 256K BIOS chips and replaced them with 256K purchased from Digikey. So I use the Digikey as repeatable burn targets and the bios saver chip for the manufacturers BIOS. So, when the Digikey burst into flames, I can just replace with another. Why wear-out the original part is what I'm thinking.

I do have the prebuilt seabios payload. I'm troubled as to what "VGA option ROM" your speaking of. I'm thinking, the menu option concerning executing VGA ROM code. ... i'll fiddle with this and if something gives on a warm boot, I'll post to the list.

I believe one of the asus p2b one(s) is the template I used to get LinuxBIOS 2.0.0 working to boot into filo recently on a warm boot. Albeit, I likely swiped the source tree since years ago, but I do have a working bios image here. As to which ASUS P2B board it was, I can't recall.
Hang in there! I'd love to see another 440BX board gaining support.
I also have a BIOS post card installed, but I don't think I need this at the point I'm at correct? Is there anything else I can learn/look/research into on this code? From what I see at this point, it's just comparing logging & reporting?
Forgot to attach, however, I'll post the first few lines of a diff for others to look at as well.

I'm attaching the warmboot log, and then a cold boot log (again, the cold boot fails at raminit). (I'm also attaching .config for kicks for anybody browsing the lists.)
When I'm booted, I get a constant reboot after loading SeaBIOS. Pressing F12 quickly doesn't show any boot options. Likely because I've disabled the "Run non-VGA option ROMs"?
Think I'll take a break for the night and read a few of the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals" hosted at: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/
(From what Keith just wrote just prior to this email, I need to read some raminit code comments and get some memory stick config dumps.)

I'm searching the code and am confused what the coreboot table (ie. lb_table) exactly is and why it wouldn't be found. But I'm guessing that this is relative to the raminit issues with the 440BX board, correct? Especially since you mentioned it's an odd issue.

The coreboot table conveys critical information (like memory layout) to the payload. It's really odd that it gets written at 0x500 and then lost. Maybe you're still having memory controller issues. If so, you'll need to fix that before trying to fix anything else.
