Do you have a picture the KolibriOS kernel messages? You can enable them
in the KolibriOS kernel menu with the key `c` and then choose Yes/On.

Thanks a lot for providing this archive. Unfortunately the PS/2 mouse
still does not work with your coreboot + SeaBIOS image in the archive.

Which KolibriOS version do you use? Did you build it yourself or do you
use the distributed binaries? I use the image from May 1st.

Interesting. Did you report that to the SeaBIOS developers?
