Re: [coreboot] Problems changing payload on Intel Leaf Hill

[Tahnia Lichtenstein]

Hi Mario,

Thank you very much for sharing, that already helps a lot!! I can spot
quite a lot of differences to my own build settings.

I've been pursuing a Grub2 payload in the meantime (no success so far),
will now return to SeaBIOS and try and incorporate the necessary changes
you suggested.

Just a couple of questions so far:

- Are you able to boot Yocto with the current combination you have?
   - I have all the blobs around coreboot, except the VBIOS... I have tried
   all the options in https://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support, but I suspect
   the reference bootloader images provided by Intel does not use a VBIOS
   file. I also cannot find a suitable VBIOS on Intel's website. (By the way,
   thanks for the FIT decomposition tip, I did not know this was possible... I
   took great pains to find the correct blobs on Intel's website, would have
   been much easier to just use FIT!) Where did you obtain a VBIOS file?
   - Is it specifically VBIOS, or is it a VBT.dat file? Or are you running
   SeaVGABIOS?

Many thanks again!

Best regards,
Tahnia
