The coreboot in the Sage EDK is several months behind coreboot.org.
There shouldn't be any major differences in the coreboot code, just
some additions for working in the EDK environment. You can check the
history log to see the changes. I don't know what the problem is. You
could do a git bisect to figure out which change is causing the
problem.

I think that AMD made a big change to the fam14 support that isn't in
the EDK. That would be where we should start looking.
