That sounds good. I'd love to try it myself, but at the moment I don't feel like I have enough time for it. I'm also quite new to coreboot and have plenty to learn about it, so I guess I should start somewhere else. > Since I can not guarantee that I will succeed.

I'm not sure, but I found this: https://www.coreboot.org/Board:amd/south_station ... which according to https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards/old has a SB850 and seems to be supported by coreboot. I could not find any further info on that board though... By the way, the Gigabyte mainboard has a "Dual BIOS" setup: https://www.coreboot.org/Gigabyte_Dual_bios I guess this could impose obstacles. It seems that there has been done work about it already: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg23613.html https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05929.html (Taiidan:) > > What would be really swell is a port to a nice 9xx series > > motherboard, > > both are quite old but the 8xx is even older. Heh, when I read specs on those, they both still sound absolutely high-end to me :P I find it strenuous to keep up with current tech trends...
