Hi everybody,
with the help of Harald's seaBIOS-payload I managed to run the latest coreboot (revision 4387) on my v1.0 m57sli-board. From a first look everything seems to work: kvm, sound, power-now frequency scaling. dmesg is attached for proprietary and free bios.
Nice that you could test it. The payload wasn't from me, just the link to it. (It's directly on the seabios homepage, kevin built it some time ago.)
Minor issues:

Interesting, and good that you mention that!
When I tested the PowerNow! stuff, I also recognized that, but it seems that I flipped the results. My point of view was that coreboot offers one more stepping mode, and therefore didn't care about it. Maybe Rudolf Marek can us help here, because he wrote the automatic generation for that ACPI table (SSDT).
Many thanks to everybody involved! I'll run my board now fulltime coreboot!
