Hi,
It appears that since r4534 (move to Kconfig), Multiboot information is no
longer built in by default. You have to enable it in "System tables" /
"Generate Multiboot tables (for GRUB2)", then GRUB works fine (at least
on QEMU, which I just tested).
Coreboot developers: would you consider enabling it again? The overhead
is minimal, and it would make this less confusing for users.

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
