using the AMD/ATI based ASRock E350M1 [1] with coreboot and SeaBIOS 1.7.2.1 as a payload and GRUB 2 (1.99-27 from Debian Sid/unstable) on the hard drive, letting coreboot load the VGA Option ROM and disabling »Option ROMs« in the menu »BIOS interfaces«
config OPTIONROMS bool "Option ROMS" default y # I set it to n. help Support finding and running option roms during POST.I only see »AMD Wrestler …« printed to the screen (from the VGA Option ROM loaded by coreboot I guess) and I neither see the SeaBIOS header(?) with version nor the bootmenu. GRUB 2 does not show its (terminal) menu either and just shows funny, colorful characters covering the whole screen.
http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#coreboot - do not load the vga option rom in coreboot - do it in seabios.
Yes, thanks. Though I assumed »best results« would mean, that when using coreboot for loading the VGA Option ROM, that it might decrease performance or something like that and not that Linux does not find the ROM at all. If that is a known issue, a note should be added to the Kconfig description or if coreboot is chosen as a target, then the Option ROM option should be enabled automatically, right? If yes, please say so and I am going to try to come up with a patch.
Thanks,
Paul
