RB-C2 probably uses socket type AM3, which is not supported in Coreboot currently. I wonder if your board can go through the whole image.
You can contact tim.perley@amd.com about the patch releasing.

This patch is about the DA-C2 and RB-C2. Chip with install processor Revision ID of 0x100F62 is DA-C2, instead of RB-C2 which was
incorrectly
defined in raminit_amdmct.c. RB-C2's ID is 0x100F42. The Erratas
applied
to them are almost the same.
Aha. That would perhaps explain why my box with
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2372 HE
with revision id 0x100f42 really does not like ucode revision 92 (it resets itself constantly).
Issues:
- I really dont know what their nicknames are (Shanghai C2 or
something).
Don't know about that.
- About the mc_patch_01000086.h, I dont know if it is allowed to be
released. If you really need it, please contact AMD Inc to see if it is
public.
Well, I have my box booting without any ucode update. It would be nice to have mc_patch_01000086.h public if that's the revision for my cpus. Who do I ask?
- I haven't made coreboot go thoroughly on this RB-C2. This patch is
just half tested.
I now have a working tree for Supermicro h8dmr with RB-C2 but it needs a bit more tweaking and cleaning up. I hope to get that ready soon so I can submit the patch to the list.
I am not confident it is 100% correct.
I'll test tonight or tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Thanks! Ward.
