Comment:

 Thanks for the feedback. This is the same issue as #8040

 IGP chipsets require a special call to pull the AtomBIOS.

 This isn't a KDL but the app_server crashing due to the radeon_hd
 accelerant bailing out.  I wish there was a way to fall back to VESA when
 the accelerant has a failure.

 {{{

 /* If you boot an IGP board with a discrete card as the primary,
  * the IGP rom is not accessible via the rom bar as the IGP rom is
  * part of the system bios.  On boot, the system bios puts a
  * copy of the igp rom at the start of vram if a discrete card is
  * present.
  */
