That might be. As a side note, enabling serial console in coreboot and
SeaBIOS causes the devices to always be detected. With serial console
the boot takes longer, as the messages need to be transmitted, so it
could be a timing issue.

I forgot to lower the debug level to 3, so it is still at 8. Sorry. I
hope that is still fine. If not, I’ll redo the tests.


Thanks,
