I've had a few
issues getting an updated SeaBIOS installed as a payload. There are only 2 selections for SeaBIOS in coreboot's menuconfig: 1.7.2.1 and "master." I selected "master" this time and seem to get version "rel-1.7.3-91-gc21dce3-20131004_231309", which looks like it's from early October. However, same results with this release. Should 1.7.3 be good enough?</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>I next checked out and built a separate SeaBIOS ELF image, so I could have the absolute latest SeaBIOS AND set debug to 8 (Coreboot doesn't seem to have the
SeaBIOS debug level available via menuconfig). But, I've been unable to get Coreboot to build if I select an ELF payload via menuconfig and supply the path to my bios.bin.elf; it only builds when selecting SeaBIOS as the payload directly via menuconfig. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>As for F12… I got nothing when I did this, so I imagine I need to try a different terminal emulator; I was using PuTTY on Win7. </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">I'll try some different emulators and post what I find.</span></div><div
