I used this:
    "movl %esp, %esi\n"
    "movl $" __stringify(BUILD_STACK_ADDR) ", %esp\n"
    "ljmp $0x10, $post_coreboot\n"

and added this at the end of post_coreboot() function:
    asm(
	"movl %esi, %esp\n"
	"retl"
    );

Then it can return to coreboot correctly. Till the payload(I used no
payload here)

But pci_dev_init() is executed more than one time so vga is
initialized more than one time in SeaBIOS. A flag variable would be
used to run SeaBIOS only once.

I am supprised that it just run correctly when return address is set.
I supposed to restore the gdt. Maybe the gdt of SeaBIOS and coreboot
are the same.

And I want to know where will SeaBIOS write in the memory. Such as the
range of bda and ebda?




I think it is time to int SCSI controller, and set the int 13 for it.

Best regards.
