Need help! Seabios hangs on "Press ESC for boot menu".

Seabios freezes (hangs) on "Press ESC for boot menu". Does not respond to the keyboard and does not boot from the sata disk. Last post code 0x7b. Console (full) output in putty_atomC3538.log. Coreboot 4.9 cfg in coreboot.config. Seabios config in seabios.config.

Atom boards need hardware IRQs disabled. so in SeaBIOS config: CONFIG_HARDWARE_IRQ=y needs to be # CONFIG_HARDWARE_IRQ is not set not sure if there is an easy way to set this when building coreboot outside of saving the entire .config and telling coreboot to use that On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 9:44 AM Дмитрий Понаморев <dponamorev@gmail.com> wrote:

Someone also had this "SeaBIOS hangs" problem when they added the AMD OptionROM with cbfstool without specifying " -t optionrom " , and SeaBIOS hanged while trying to initialize it as a boot entry. Should be added like " ./build/cbfstool ./build/coreboot.rom add -f pci1002,6663.rom -n pci1002,6663.rom -t optionrom "

To my knowledge, in contrast to coreboot, SeaBIOS does not evaluate the type. Please start a new thread and attach the debug log, if you experience the problem you describe. Kind regards, Paul

Dear Paul, thank you for your reply. Although I don't experience this problem - maybe because I always write "-t optionrom" in my command... but maybe I'd test it in the future just to provide the error log if this problem will be confirmed.
