coreboot on Dell c600

Did any progress was made in the matter of coreboot on laptops and with Dell C600 Latitude? As I am googling the net and the mailing list I see that my chipset is supported but still I am bit afraid to flash it with coreboot. Any suggestion except mounting a socket for changeable chips?

Hello and welcome,
I will say it again. I would love to see coreboot running on C600.
Unfortunately it will not run with out some development. You see the Dell
C600 has a AGP video card. AGP has not been implemented on i830 because my
i830 boards only have on-board graphics. So unless you are willing to roll
up your sleeves and dig in it may be a while. Of course if someone wanted
to donate a C600 to the cause I would be glad to get coreboot running on
it.

Hello,

I tried to port coreboot to c610 but stopped at desoldering flash step... So I 
have a board, it boots with dell bios (I tried yesterday) and I can give it to 
the cause (I have another  c610 on wich I will love to run coreboot).

Any ideas to minimize send costs ?? (I'm in France)

Hello,
I would love to port the C610. I am particularly interested because I would
love to see AGP support for the Intel 830M, plus of course coreboot running
on a laptop :-)

Let me know if this works for you, I am located in the US.

OK, if you give me a post address, I can send it to you tomorrow.
