the codes on the onboard POST display (from port 80) are changing so fast that I cannot make them out however it is seems by the pattern of codes outputted that it is in a loop, are there any particular settings in the menuconfig that are required? Or have
I missed something obvious?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried booting with 1 CPU and just 1 stick of RAM, removed the PCIe GFX card. I have also built coreboot with and without the onboard VGA bios but none of this makes any difference, any help would be greatly appreciated.
