Hi everyone, I'm really interested on your project, I was trying to figure
out if I can flash my laptop with your coreboot but I couldn't find my
motherboard on your compatibility list. I have an Acer Aspire 5100 with AMD
Turion X2 64 and an Ati Radeon Xpress 1100 chipset. I would apreciate your
help.

Greetings from Mexico...

Hi, sorry but coreboot doesn't yet support laptops, as they're a lot
harder to support than desktop PCs, among other things because of the
Embedded Controller (EC) in laptops, and because of general lack of
documentation and datasheets in this area.
