Hi,

To fix the powernow add following after following line into dsdt.asl

Processor (_PR.CPU1, 0x01, 0x000000, 0x00) {}

Scope (_PR.CPU0)

Then just recompile Coreboot. I'm using the powernowd and it does work.

If possible could you send me the lspci -xxx when the coreboot is running too? 
You may also try /LinuxBIOSv2/src/southbridge/via/k8t890/k8t890_pcie.c to edit 
the init function:
static void peg_init(struct device *dev)

I think you can put return at the beginning of the function. There is a chance 
that it will work without anything else. I think problem is in card reset.

I have in plan to cleanup the PCIe init a bit but frankly I dont know if the 
reset is needed and even not sure about the link retrain.

Thanks,
Rudolf
