Is this motherboard suppo

[Anonymous bin ich]

Hi all!

I have following laptop: MSI VR-610X

Chipset: ATI RS690T + SB600
Procesor: AMD Athlon64 X2 dual-core TK-55 (1.8GHz, FSB 800MHz, 512KB L2)
RAM 1GB DDR2 667MHz
Hard disk: 100GB SATA
Graphics-card: ATI Radeon X1270

Some more info is here: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/82346

NOTE: It is AMD Sempron 3600+, and not 3800+ as listed in the above link.

I am attaching the output of lspci, superiotool, and flashrom in the mail.

It appears from the webpage that my motherboard is actually supported
with coreboot v3, but SB600 is listed as "WIP". So, should I try it?

Laptops are not supported for now because of the embedded controllers.
We only have datasheets for exactly one embedded controller and we don't
know if you have that one.
Can you find the embedded controller on your board and tell us which one
it is?

OK.

Bad, it does not find a superio. Can you try latest superiotool from svn?

Bad, it seems the flash is behind some unknown translation chip. You
will have to open the laptop and find the flash chip, then find out to
which chip it is attached.

Really? I could not find your motherboard listed anywhere on that page.

RS690/SB600 support in v3 is lacking some critical features. You want to
look at v2.

Can you recover from a bad flash? Do you have a serial port (or matching
header) on the board? Can you plug in a POST card? Do we have docs for
the embedded controller?
We can't give you an answer before we know more.

It does find the Super I/O:

Found SMSC SCH4307 (id=0x90, rev=0x80) at 0x4e
No dump available for this Super I/O

However, it seems there are no public datasheets for this Super I/O (at
least not last time I checked).
