My gut here is saying you have a mismatched combo of how Coreboot is treating these, and how they are written. From what I'm reading, Coreboot should support Legacy, UEFI, or SeaBIOS, so go set that in the BIOS setup, then make absolutely sure your disks are being written as such (NOT mbr). Ventoy should be the tool to use here for testing different distros out, so good on finding that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ventoy USB can be created to work both in Legacy and UEFI. It is also very easy to add more distributions later.
I have not yet Coreboot installed. Its the stock BIOS, I need to test that laptop before possibly bricking it ;D
Weird thing is the sticks boot, but they crap out because drives where no mounted
I have never used those tools, I usually just dd the iso to a usb. I am assuming you are on a linux distribution already. I would download a fresh iso and verify the checksum. Then use dd to write to the usb. I use this format, and of course replace the path to iso bit and /dev/sdx (your usb)with what is relevant to your situation. Just open terminal and type
sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/your.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
You probably already know but you can find the usb's specific /dev/sdx with sudo fdisk -l
Both tools use dd underneath so this should be no problem. But I can try
Debian Live?
I dont think that will change anything. Its not the distros fault, thats the thing. I used these exact ISOs
It may be the way the are burned.
Try using Balena Etcher or Rufus.
