Hi

0x80 seems like a reasonable POST from the very beginning of stage
coreboot_ram. Continue your work with src/boot/hardwaremain.c; figure
out whether you only lose serial communication or if the execution
actually halts.

Seems there is a case or two of possible infinite while() loops within
the uart8250 serial console code. This is a wild guess, but the uart
could end up in a bad state if transmit buffers are non-empty while
divisors are programmed etc. Maybe raise the speed to more common and
tested 115200.

Regards,
KM
