All Option ROMs should be disabled in Coreboot.  If SeaBIOS can't
initialize your vga rom, it should be fixed.  (As a guess, either
something is incorrect with the hardware, or there is a "vgahook"
override in coreboot that isn't in seabios.)

I can't say this is the root of your issue, but double initializing
an option rom is definitely not correct and has been known to cause
problems in the past.  The fact that you can boot using grub1 would
make this less likely to be the root cause.
