<p class="MsoNormal">What board do you use?<br>
<br>
If coreboot successfully runs the VGA BIOS/Option ROM (and if it is<br>
needed), GRUB 2 should be able to display text on the monitor. I am<br>
successfully doing that on the ASRock E350M1.<br>
<br>
Do you get graphics with SeaBIOS as a payload and letting SeaBIOS run<br>
the VGA BIOS/Option ROM?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That should work. Do you get serial output with coreboot? Do you get<br>
serial output from the GRUB installed on your hard disk?<o:p></o:p></p>
