Hi all, and thanks for your help so far.
The problem now is that when I try to load seabios or filo, a fraction of a second after coreboot jumps to the payload the vga output starts goes crazy --colorful, geometric output, flashing in regular patterns.-- and coreboot restarts. The display keeps going, so I think in it's own special way it's trying to output what I'm seeing on the serial console,
but it's garbage. With filo, it didn't actually display anything meaningful on the screen, it just went straight to the flashing colors. With seabios, depending on the optionsiit's built with it might display "press f12 for boot menu", then the two choices, for my hd and cd. Pressing either choice results in coreboot restarting. I'm attaching the serial log from the most recent attempt. Here's an excerpt:

I'm not sure what other info might be useful, but I'll provide it or try whatever is asked. A few other possible clues: the factory bios only recognized half of my installed ram, but coreboot recognized all of it. With coreinfo or memtest as payloads, it did not restart, and it displayed the proper vga output. Memtest did report RAM errors, but I didn't understand what they meant, and at the time (before I tried seabios) I thought memtest might be wrong (which is why I wanted to load a full OS to double check). Since I can't think of what else to do, I'm going investigate the Memtest errors next.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Austin
