Thanks for the information. Then maybe just dont stop booting when CPUID is missing. Just add a line to the coreboot log. Something like: "WARNING: Unknown CPU ID detected. Please report to the coreboot mailing lists if the machine is working fine"
Then you still have the same functionality as you told. CPUs that require different handling on different revisions can still be maintained different.
People are also way more motivated to report some unstable working CPUs then when they flash coreboot and the system simply didnt work at all and without reading the logfiles it looks like its completely dead (no screen, nothing, just fans are on).
And with that, I'll turn this over for the other members on the list to comment on this suggestion. I don't care strongly one way or another, provided the warning is at ALERT status so it shows up even with logging mostly disabled.
