Flashing libreboot was a big failure, it boot stuck in a boot loop.

Though it's not the end of the world, I was pleased to find out my drive still boots in my libreboot incompatible machine and I suppose I could SPI flash the machine back because I did backup the roms.

I would advise Leah to update the GA-G41M-ES2L install instructions page with the link for the seabios. I flashed ga-g41m-es2l_usqwerty_txtmode under the grub rom. I couldn't find a seabios version. I flashed libreboot thinking it was going to be an easier time and was worried about tweaking too many or not enough dials in the coreboot make menuconfig.

Is it the
gigabyte g41m - es2l?

I installed it on the computer and it worked. I selected
the ga-g41m-es2l_usqwerty_txtmode.rom.

What is the difference between textmode
and seabios?

Have you flashed the bios the computer came with onto the
computer, such that it can start a system again?
