Myles, as you could read in another topic on the ml, i was able to get the "basic" ACPI functions working on my mainboard with coreboot.
Your links were really helpful to get that done, and also the coreboot wiki page on acpi support (http://www.coreboot.org/ACPI_in_coreboot).
I didn't respond until now to your mail because i directly started to get it working and compare with your code
Thanks for your help, regards Harald

Hello,
at the moment i try to get acpi support running with the gigabyte m57sli mainboard. a few things are allready done (fill fadt, dsdt.asl and a pretty "raw" acpi_tables.c).
Now my problem is, that i can't figure out the right values to set up the madt and mcfg acpi tables.
This might help: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-February/044809.html
You actually don't need MCFG to boot Linux.
You could take a look at the patches I sent for the Tyan s2895, s2891, & s2892. http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-February/045201.html
I generated the dsdt from mptables.c, so it might be easier to see how to do that. I'm not booting Windows yet, but Linux is working flawlessly so far.
Thanks, Myles
