There may be some problem when initializing the keyboard controller, but SeaBIOS payload works fine. Using GRUB payload directly or chainload GRUB payload with SeaBIOS will both hang the system.

I modified GRUB and find it hangs in set_scancodes(void), when calling the first write_mode. After grub_outb (mode, KEYBOARD_REG_DATA);, the keyboard_controller_wait_until_ready() function goes to an infinite loop.

write_mode (int mode)
{
  unsigned i;
  for (i = 0; i < GRUB_AT_TRIES; i++)
    {
      grub_uint8_t ack;
      keyboard_controller_wait_until_ready ();
      grub_outb (0xf0, KEYBOARD_REG_DATA);
      keyboard_controller_wait_until_ready ();
      grub_outb (mode, KEYBOARD_REG_DATA);
      keyboard_controller_wait_until_ready ();
      ack = wait_ack ();
      if (ack == GRUB_AT_NACK)
        continue;
      if (ack == GRUB_AT_ACK)
        break;
      return 0;
    }

  return (i != GRUB_AT_TRIES);
}
