have you tried other payloads? This might be a SeaBIOS issue and not a coreboot one.

No, I haven't tried other payloads like embedded grub, but it doesn't reach coreboot boot menu (where I can run memtest for example).
It seems that something broken in video adapter init (intel core graphics) because if I boot with external monitor detached then boot succeeded.
Monitor detach after boot start doesn't solve the problem.
How to configure coreboot to boot debian 12 with non-seabios payload?

that's not the coreboot boot menu, it's the SeaBIOS one.

can you pull a cbmem log after a failed boot? Compile with ADA debug enabled as well

As I understand cbmem log it requires a successful boot to retrieve log or it will survive after reboot via ctrl-alt-del?
The problem with non-seabios payload it that x230 is my primary laptop and get unbootable machine (for example after invalid grub config during setup) will require disassebling motherboard and flashing bios via flash programmer
