Hi,

I might not be the best one to answer your question, but here are my thoughts :
- the "unknown type 'payload'" error is probably because cbfs changed
the type name from "payload' to "simple elf" since you can add elfs in
there that are not actual 'payloads'. I think though that it
auto-changed the file type to 'simple elf', since you can see in the
cbfs print :
fallback/payload               0xc7a80    simple elf    5244700 none
So the payload is added, it has type "simple elf" and is 5.2MB (which
is the bzImage + initrd.cpio size).
Then in your cbmem log you can see that it did find the payload and
that it decompressed all the sections and everything seems fine :
CBFS: Locating 'fallback/payload'
CBFS: Found @ offset c7b80 size 5006d5
[...]

And then it jumps into it (i.e: it executes the payload) :
Jumping to boot code at 00040000(8fe11000)

The reason that's the last messages you see is simply because linux
does not print any messages to cbmem (SeaBIOS does, and if you look at
your old logs, you'd see right after that "jumping to boot code"
there's the SeaBIOS debug messages starting).

So I think it's all good for you, but your problem is actually with
your linux (Heads) configuration itself, you probably simply do not
have the right graphics driver enabled in the kernel, so linux boots
but it doesn't initialize the GPU so nothing appears. You can either
find and enable your GPU driver in the kernel and rebuild Heads, or
you can tell coreboot to initialize the gpu (either with the GOP
driver+VBT or by running the option rom) and tell it to initialize the
VGA framebuffer (probably in text mode though I'm not sure) or
whatever is needed to actually get some graphics output.
I remember trying a few different options and configurations for the
Librem and in the end, I simply removed the vgabios/vbt from coreboot,
told coreboot not to initialize the graphics, and added the i915
kernel driver to heads and that was all that was needed. Once heads
booted, the kernel driver initialized the graphics and that's it.

I hope that helps,
Youness.
