After flashing coreboot configuration utility always pops up #221

Hello all,

I have just flashed my Lenovo X230 with a Raspberry PI 4 and chose the VGA Seabios Free ROM for the top chip. First flashed the bottom chip, then the top one. No errors during the flash process.

I've now reassembled and rebooted my X230 and always get dropped into the coreboot configuration utility menu. First the Skulls Logo appears, then the coreboot config utility. If I press F1 to get out of it, I always return and the boot doesn't continue.

If I press ESC on startup I can choose my HDD, but it still always drops me in the ccu menu. Have I missed something? Do I have to change some parameters in the utility menu?

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS/Edit: I've also just tried flashing the top chip with the non-free VGA Seabios option, no errors. But upon reboot, still same problem, the coreboot configuration utility won't go away 😞

Upon startup is says: Booting from harddisk .... Booting from CBFS .....

And then goes into the coreboot configuration utility

The HDD was formated with GPT. Re-formatted to MS DOS and now it's working just fine, sorry for posting
