as far as i know the vt82c686 was already supported by coreboot v2..
i have it more or less working for my netier netexpress xl2000
Do you have some details on that? I don't see that board in current svn
and the only thing I saw on the 686 was the early serial... Maybe you
could share your tree and/or adaptations?
thanks,
Daniel
first thing to check if no serial output is the io address op the
superio eg 2E vs 4E ect
