Hello all,
I'm planning on building an adsl2+ server with a Traverse Solos PCI ADSL2+ card[1] on a Supermicro X7SLA-H motherboard[2].
The chipsets of the X7SLA-H are Intel 945GC + ICH7R which are listed as WIP on "Devices supported in coreboot v3"[3]
What are the changes of getting Coreboot v3 to work on this motherboard?
What makes v3 'alpha'? I can't seem to figure it out from reading the wiki.
I consider myself an experienced Linux user but I have no hardware tools for flash or debug. Would I be able to play with Coreboot and be of any use to the community?
Btw, I am open for any suggestions regarding a better motherboard with possible (future) Coreboot support. I'm looking for a small size, relative low power, two core, 64bit system with a pci slot for the Solos card. I've read the 'Supported Motherboard' section but it was last modified at 6 July 2009 so that might be outdated.
