I am thinking about implanting coreboot on my c600 laptop. Would it be possible?
A little googling tells me it's a 440bx (or more likely 440mx) chipset, which is very well supported in v2. However, with laptops there are still a couple other problems:
* Flash: Is the BIOS flash chip soldered on or socketed? If it's soldered on, do you have the skills/equipment to install a socket? You'll want to have a spare flash chip to do your coreboot port on. * Embedded controller: Your laptop probably has one, and usually the only way to find it is to pull the laptop apart and look for the chip. You would also have to check that the datasheets are publicly available, or request and NDA from the manufacturer.
