Hi Viktor,

It seems you've tried a bunch of different configurations.  However,
this is making your trouble report hard to understand as it becomes
unclear which config had which results.

If you have an external VGA card, then please build coreboot with
CONFIG_VGA_ROM_RUN, CONFIG_ON_DEVICE_ROM_RUN, CONFIG_VGA_BIOS, and
CONFIG_PXE_ROM all disabled.  Please use either the SeaBIOS provided
by coreboot, or build SeaBIOS with a default config (only
CONFIG_COREBOOT and if needed CONFIG_DEBUG_SERIAL changed from the
seabios defaults).  This is described at:
http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS

In particular, there should be no "pciXXXX,YYYY.rom" or "vgaroms/XXX"
files in your cbfs rom.

If the above does not work, please use the above config and recompile
SeaBIOS at debug level 8, and post the full debug log along with the
output of "cbfstool print".

Cheers,
-Kevin
