Hi,
I tried to use an external PCI network card ( 8254pi) with m2v-mx se mother board. However, the booting process hangs. On the screen, it shows, "Chrome VGA textmode initialized", and stops there.
The serial console output is attached. Is this the NIC option rom problem or coreboot problem? Any workarounds? I need to use a network card supported by e1000.ko on Linux. If I try to get a different model of NIC supported by e1000, does it help? Thanks!
Regards,
Jiang

You need more verbose output to find out why it is hanging there. However, make menuconfig allows you to only execute vga option roms but skip all the others. This is most likely what you want

I see. Thanks. I will try it tomorrow.

I modified the config to skip the other option roms, and it solved my problem. Thanks
