Ok. Done. It now bombs at make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/root/svn/payload.elf', needed by `payload'. Stop
What payload is recommended?. Filo or grub2. The payload page says grub2 does not work as yet.
Start with FILO for now. I think GRUB2 doesn't work with corebootv2 yet and it's less tested and documented so far.
and filo-0.5 fails with gcc -m32 -Wall -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-common -ffreestanding -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused -nostdinc -imacros ../config.h -I../include -I/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/include -MD -c filo.c -o filo.o cc1: error: unrecognized option `-Wno-pointer-sign'
Just drop '-Wno-pointer-sign' from the Makefile, your compiler seems pretty old and doesn't know about that option.
shifted the tree to etch. filo-0.5 compiles. But...
./buildrom coreboot.strip coreboot.rom payload 0x10000 0x20000 ERROR: payload (78064) + coreboot (65536) - Size is 12528 bytes larger than ROM size (131072). make[1]: *** [coreboot.rom] Error 1
since vgarom = 61952 payload = 78064 coreboot = 65536 total = 205552
It should fit into the 256KB flash with 56592 bytes to spare.
Do i need to disable fallback? What is the purpose of fallback.

Yes.
What is the purpose of fallback.
It's a second, fallback, version of coreboot and payload that could be used for recovery.
It's not mandatory but is usually enabled by default.

Coming back to flashrom since there is nothing obviously wrong with the devices and falshrom does write (so WE is wired correctly?), how do i go about finding out the problem with flashrom.

That's one possibility to solve this, if you don't want/need two images )normal/fallback). But it's usually enough to make your FILO smaller, e.g. by disabling all filesystem support you don't need in FILO's 'Config' file, e.g. XFS, Minix, ReiserFS, whatnot.

I never managed to build working normal image for epia-m though. Fallback works fine, and vga bios too. The only odd behaviour is that my epia-m2 has about 12sec delay before it runs the coreboot image.
here's my config.lb: (57344 is my vga bios rom size)
------------------------------------------------------
target via_epia-m mainboard via/epia-m option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 option CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250=1 option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1 option ROM_SIZE=0x40000-57344 option HAVE_OPTION_TABLE=1 option CONFIG_ROM_PAYLOAD=1 option HAVE_FALLBACK_BOOT=1 option CONFIG_COMPRESSED_PAYLOAD_NRV2B=0 option _RAMBASE=0x00004000 option FALLBACK_SIZE=0x40000-57344
romimage "fallback" option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=1 option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=0x10000 payload /boot/filo/filo.elf end
buildrom ./coreboot.rom ROM_SIZE "fallback" ----------------------------------------------------------

Correct, you can't do that. You can have
- fallback + normal - fallback only
You can _not_ have
- normal only
That won't work.
