Hi guys, I tested these fixes on my board, and I have to say there's still something wrong. They did address the hang or reset in SeaBIOS I first described, but now either my ATA hard drive failed to boot (it tried to hand off to GRUB on my drive, but didn't get there), or it can't find the option ROM of my video card, meaning no display.
Now I want to try the other way, testing a build with all changes related to the problem backed out instead. So besides the one I first identified, what other related patches should I try backing out?
