Hi,
since I want to use SeaBios on my real MoBo I wanted to try it out first
using Qemu so I compiled coreboot v2 with the emulation MoBo and using
the latest seabios-0.4.2. Now the problem is that qemu is booting all
the time without getting seabios fully loaded:

-->> reboots

Now I'm concerned that this could be happening on the real board,too. I
already tried to compile seabios from the source same result.
I tried to use it with a linux.img to see if it boots but nothing! I'm
having the same problem with the "ready to use" coreboot v2 + SeaBios
from the coreboot wiki.

any suggestions? I have a coreboot + seabios compiled and ready to flash
it to the real board but I'm now scared like hell it just will boot and
boot.

thx,

Knut Kujat
