Added missing txtmode config for T420 Rolled back the recent SeaBIOS revision update, which therefore removes these SeaBIOS patches: * 9029a010 kconfig: fix the check-lxdialog.sh to work with gcc 14+ * 8863cbbd ahci: add controller reset * df9dd418 update pci_pad_mem64 handling * a4fc1845 add romfile_loadbool() * a2725e28 drop acpi tables and hex includes * 35aa9a72 drop obsolete acpi table code * 1b598a1d usb-hid: Support multiple USB HID devices by storing them in a linked list Technically, I need only revert instead to revision df9dd418, but that and the other revisions above contain changes that may possibly cause other breakage. We know the old revision worked, so roll back these 7 SeaBIOS commits. Now I will re-compile the 25.04 release and re-upload it as rev1. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

Libera IRC
Libreboot provides libre boot firmware on supported motherboards. It replaces proprietary vendor BIOS/UEFI implementations, by
- Using coreboot to initialize the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, etc.) while minimizing unwanted functionality (e.g. backdoors such as the Intel Management Engine)
- ... which runs a payload such as SeaBIOS, GRUB, or U-Boot
- ... which loads your operating system's boot loader (BSD and Linux-based systems are supported).
Why use Libreboot, and what is coreboot?
A lot of users who use libre operating systems still use proprietary boot firmware, which often contain backdoors and bugs, hampering user freedom and right to repair.
coreboot provides libre boot firmware by initializing the hardware then running a payload. However, coreboot is notoriously difficult to configure and install for most non-technical users, requiring detailed technical knowledge of hardware.
Libreboot solves this by being a coreboot distribution (in the same way that Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution). It provides a fully automated build system that downloads and compiles pre-configured ROM images for supported motherboards, so end-users could easily fetch images to flash onto their devices.
Libreboot also produces documentation aimed at non-technical users and excellent user support via IRC.
