Description

Work done under #1378 has not been tested under that board.
Meaning that it is not expected that a flat framebuffer is passed through kexec.

Interesting enough, this board is 5.10.5 linux based for a while.
Seems like users of that board are ok not having no vga until kexec'ed OS is initializing kernel.

Unfortunately, my kgpe-d16 doesn't boot anymore, looping into coreboot raminit.

Someone else still using that board under Heads? (Tagging per #692 board owners)
@0rb677 @Tonux599 @zifxify @blobless ?

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #1378 and the discussion from the tagged KGPE-D16 board owners. Test whether the board preserves or passes a flat framebuffer through kexec, and record the result for this hardware; completion means the board behavior is verified or the remaining limitation is documented.
