Hi, The p5gc-mx is still supported (src/mainboard/asus/p5gc-mx in a git snapshot).
It seems the mainboard consists of i945GC northbridge and ICH7 southbridge (82801GX). Both are supported, in a fact I'm using a board with i945GM+ICH7 which is almost the same. However there may be some outdated things. My board had incomplete devicetree and chipset initialization had a weird problem with cache preload few weeks ago. But it should be still possible to boot a linux system (or at least to report bugs ;-) ). If you are planning to test it, make sure you will be able to flash back the original bios, or even better flash coreboot into a separate chip so you can hot swap it. Having an RS232 adapter to see the logs is also extremely useful. ad boot: Coreboot only initialize the hardware and starts the payload. The boot itself is made by one of the payloads, for example seabios. And yes seabios supports booting from USB OHCI/EHCI/XHCI controller.
