Yes. Disable lzma compression for your filo payload, and it will work.

What you see is coreboot not finding a proper lzma compressed filo payload,
and falling back to trying to find an uncompressed payload. That fails.

For some reason lzma-compressing filo and etherboot generates an invalid
image; I have not investigated why yet.
