[SeaBIOS] Librem 15v3 hangs at Booting from Hard Disk...

[Philip C.]

Hello biosers,

I managed to get some feedback from Kevin, on IRC, which was set debug to
8...
I began the adventure, by taking advantage of a pureos script
https://code.puri.sm/kakaroto/coreboot-files/raw/master/build_coreboot.sh

I had to make a few modifications
    megadl '
https://mega.nz/#!fA03xADA!5uqZiKwNZIP1J27xHzIKVQPQaNfqxdtzKjPRxxwZMc8'
    mv Intel\ CSME\ 11.0\ Firmware\ Repository\ Pack\ r50.rar
coreboot/me_11_repository.rar
    comment out lines 226 and 227
    cd coreboot/flashrom && CFLAGS="-Wno-error=deprecated-declarations"
make; cd -
    update the librem15v3 coreboot config file, setting seabios debug from
-1 to 8
    comment out the attempt to check the sha256 of the coreboot (since
debug changes sha)
    the script created a coreboot rom file and claimed that it flashed the
rom

However, when I rebooted, I didn't see any extra output on the screen and
it is still hung on the Booting from Hard disk... message

Any thoughts on how I can get the debug output?

Thanks
