Oops, sorry for the really unclear message. The problem with not booting from IDE was resolved with the different code, and I saw only 1/2 of the actual memory with the stock BIOS, never had a problem with coreboot. But apparently Aaron Lwe has made some changes since, and we've moved over to v4, so it's really hard to say exactly what/where/when it was broken. -Corey > I no longer have that board > though (it died about a year ago, and I didn't replace it), so I have > no real way to test it out.
