Me too, for a long time I have wanted a MB that I could run coreboot on, so I might just as well enable this one to run coreboot. That way I can also run it without an election heater ( > 8MiB GPU). Since it's being used as a home server.
Please post some more information about the mainboard:
- lspci -n
- lspci -vv
- lspci -tv
- lspnp -v
- cat /proc/cpuinfo
- dmesg - dmidecode - sensors-detect

As far as I can see this board is very similar to the GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4, so for now we'll just modify that one.
Please apply the attached patch (which doesn't really change very much).
I have updated the patch to v2 trunk, and filled in the PCI bridge ids http://asbjorn.it/pub/coreboot/m2n-e/v2_asus_m2n_e_r4478.patch
Then build a FILO payload which is configured to display serial debugging, and use the GRUB from your hard drive to boot the kernel. Enable the maximum amount of debugging. The result should be a /tmp/filo.elf file.
FILO config: http://asbjorn.it/pub/coreboot/m2n-e/filo_config
libpayload config: http://asbjorn.it/pub/coreboot/m2n-e/libpayload_config
Then build the linuxbios.rom image by doing
$ cd targets $ ./buildtarget gigabyte/m57sli $ cd targets/gigabyte/m57sli/m57sli $ make
Please record all the serial output in a file and post it here...
http://asbjorn.it/pub/coreboot/m2n-e/take1.txt
CPU and chassis fans all stops shortly before loading the payload, leading to the hardware watchdog restarting the system after af couple of minutes.
I didn't got past LILO because I only had SATA drives in the machine and SATA didn't work.
What's the next step? How do I continue? How do I fix SATA?
