[coreboot] Error executing VGA ROM with coreboot

Hi

 

I keep getting "ILLEGAL EXTENDED X86 OPCODE!" from my VGA ROM while trying
run VGA ROM in coreboot.

 

I tried x86emu, yabel and real mode for running VGA ROM with no luck. But
the same VGA ROM is running with seabios. 

I am attaching the boot logs with x86emu, real mode and with seabios.

 

Any help?

 

What is the big difference while executing VGA ROM in coreboot and seabios? 

Why coreboot can't run a VGA ROM which seabios can?

 

Thanks 

Mansoor
