Hello!
Yesterday I tried coreboot again, and it worked fine so far.
But I faced a nasty problem, like the last time I tried it with the MAC address on MCP55. This is nothing serious as you can change it by editing the romcache.inc from the southbridge, but it's nasty.
I was thinking about fixing this in a decent way. I'd love to see a KConfig value to enter in the configure process to get this done, or even to copy the mac address of the board.
Look at the romstrap of the vendor-provided firmware update image for a nvidia board. You'll find it doesn't contain your board's address.
IMO this issue would be best solved in the vicinity of flashrom.
It's trivial to follow the romstrap pointers and copy over the address.
Attached is a utility to do just that.
