Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Platform: 10176.68.0 stable-channel-gnawty Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Extract the VGA bios. 2. Create a new RW_LEGACY firmware. 3. Flash it. What is the expected behavior? Ctrl-L should boot the OS on a USB disc. What went wrong? Screen goes blank and nothing happens. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: <Copy from: 'about:version'> Channel: stable OS Version: 64.0.3282.144 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 28.0 r0 After getting the FW using 'chromeos-firmwareupdate --sb_extract', I extracted the VGA bios with 'cbfstool bios.bin extract -r BOOT_STUB -n pci8086,0f31.rom -f vgabios.bin'. Then using the 'build-byt-cros.sh' here: https://github.com/MattDevo/SeaBIOS, I rebuilt the SeaBIOS image and flashed it back with 'flashrom -w -i RW_LEGACY:<seabios_image>'. But after rebooting, Ctrl-L results in a blank screen. Things are working fine and ArchLinux can be booted from a USB disc, with a different VGA bios that is present in the Baytrail SeaBIOS image here: https://www.mrchromebox.tech/files/firmware/rw_legacy/seabios-byt-mrchromebox_20170602.bin Not sure what VGA bios is used in that image, but if I manually build a SeaBIOS payload by extracting the VGA bios from seabios-byt-mrchromebox_20170602.bin, then things work perfectly too. It's just that the onboard VGA bios on ACER-131 doesn't seem to work properly. Any idea if an updated VGA bios for the Baytrail/Acer-131 machine can be obtained ?
