It might still be possible to repair the mainboard, but it is always
easiest to start out with a mainboard that is already well supported

i would like to get coreboot working on VIA PC2500E

[matti christensen]

ok - which would be the best boards ?

( that don't cost much and definately have no intel branded chips on them )

i have one ASUS A8N-E which should work ...

VIA interests me because of power consumption - and i have no use for
