Please see if you can build SeaBIOS with full debug messages enabled.

You'll have to build SeaBIOS separately from coreboot, and select "An
ELF executable payload" instead of SeaBIOS, and enter the filename of
the SeaBIOS that you built, within the coreboot configuration.

..because the above messages, which is almost all that SeaBIOS prints
by default, aren't enough to spot any problem.
