Re: Firmware another laptop

[Keith Emery]

The list of supported hardware, and other information is available here:

https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/index.html

Of course with enough information you can always be able to run 
core-boot, the caveat being you have to write the code for it. On the 
off chance that you do, and it is working, please remember to push the 
changes. It's incredibly frustrating to have a report that says: 'yeah 
this works, just use this git commit that doesn't exist'. I wound up 
buying two F2A85-M main-boards only to find the code has mysteriously 
disappeared.

PS:

Guy's if the WiKi is unmaintained can we just get rid of it. Google 
loves directing people to it, and it's incredibly confusing / misleading.
