I ran into this problem also.  I was able to get around it by
modifying src/mainboard/via/epia-m/Options.lb and increasing
HEAP_SIZE:

default HEAP_SIZE=0x5000

Unfortunately, I still can not get vga output on my epia-m9000.

I don't think adding this is right.  Looking at the logs, this seems
to cause vga to get initialized twice.  (Unfortunately, I can't get
vga output regardless of how many times it gets initialized.)
