I can confirm that when using linux-image-5.16.0-rc7-amd64-unsigned, I can load memconsole-coreboot, which in turn gives me access to CoreBoot logs in /sys/firmware/log, so the feature is working as intended! (As an aside: The file /sys/firmware/log is world-readable after the module is loaded, this might leak some information about the hardware to users) Regards, Tobias
