Dear Sebastian,

I've made some more progress in this matter. I got rid of more coreboot log errors and warning messages. I also managed to get rid off most of the warnings the linux kernel prints when it boots.
congrats!
However it seems like the linux kernel can't mount the sata drives. It fails with "ata1: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)" please look at the attached logs for more info.
I find it really strange that it fails because I can use grub2 to browse the and read the sata drives without any problem.
It seems like I'm really close in getting this to work so I would be really happy if any of you guys could help me out. I don't know what I can do to fix this.
There seem to be still some issues reported by Linux before the SATA error and the Oops afterward.

This should have been fixed for the other boards already. Make sure you have these fixes. Also make sure to set these up as separate commits so review is easier.

The above might be a problem. As coreboot is responsible for setting PCI up as far as I know, there might be still a problem.
If I were you, I would try to fix the above errors first. Often solving these, also fixes errors after it too.
I've attached three log files coreboot_log.txt is just the coreboot log, kernel_log.txt is the what the kernel prints when it boot with my coreboot rom and kernel_vanilla.txt is with the original bios image.
Could you attach a diff of the two `kernel_log.txt` (without the time stamps) please?
Two more ideas coming to my mind. First try to boot from an USB medium (from SeaBIOS for example) and look how far that goes and if you can compare lspci output from there. Maybe a newer Linux kernel also helps there. Try to play with the Linux kernel pata and ahci/libahi. `libahci` has an option `skip_host_reset` (`/sbin/modinfo libahci`). No idea if that helps and if there even is an option to avoid setting up the SATA controller into AHCI mode.
Thanks,
Paul
I did what David suggested and dumped the dsdt data. I then noticed that I had some things wrong in the routing.asl file so I fixed that.
I also split the dsdt.asl file like the asrock/e350m1 and others have done. When I did that I took a closer look at some of the changes I've done and changed them to be more in line with what's in the asrock board code.
After this the "Bogus APIC", "_OSC" and the routing errors seems to be solved. However I still get the sata error...
The "BAR can't assign mem pref" I have yet to solve. But I don't know were I should look for a solution. I've seen some logs from other coreboot boards where is says "BAR 15: assigned [mem 0x....". However the original bios doesn't seem to have any of this.
Besides that I've also tried to boot with the kernel parameters: "libata.force=nosrst" and "noapic acpi=off pci=nomsi"
When I force no soft reset it errors out with this instead: ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)

Sure, "kernel_v_notime" is the original bios in the attached diff. This diff is after I fixed the above errors.

Do you know any dists that comes with serial port support? I tried fedora and ubuntu quickly but when I tried to boot them with the grub2 payload I didn't get any output. I don't have a spare GPU so because I can't get the onboard one working I have to stick to the serial port...
Maybe a newer Linux kernel also helps there.
Perhaps. But it should work because it works with vanilla bios, no?
A little more progress today.
I noticed that not all init functions for sb800 were called. It seems like they should be be called from: src/northbridge/amd/agesa/family15/northbridge.c because that's where they are called from in f14 code. So I added that and now it seems solve some problems but the SATA softreset problem still remains.
I added "pci=nocrs" to the kernel boot option and the BAR errors aren't there anymore.
I have attached a new diff and logfile of the kernel output.
To me it doesn't seem to be any more obvious errors so I would be really grateful for any help or hints at all.
I have managed to boot from usb sticks with both fedora and ubuntu. They seem to be able to mount the usb stick and boot to desktop. However because I'm stuck with serial and they don't seem to have any serial login I can't confirm or dump lspci etc. But I can see that they respond to the power button event and doesn't seem like they hang or crash.
Does anybody know a dist where serial console login is on by default?

take a look at the Grml live system [1]. The cheatcodes list a `serial` option you can pass to the Linux kernel by adding it the the Linux kernel command line [2].
Thanks,
Paul

I managed to boot into grml with serial. I had to hexedit the .iso file to change the isolinux.cfg file to switch on serial output.
I have copied the lspci output. The "lspci -tnvv" is the same except 14.2 (HDA) is missing. But that's because I disabled it in devicetree.cb when I tested some other stuff.
However the "lspci -vvvxx" out differs somewhat and I wonder if there is anything that I should look into. I have attached three file. lspci-vvvxx.txt for coreboot output and lspci-vvvxx_org.txt for vendor bios output and a diff for them.

as requested in #coreboot on <irc.freenode.org> yesterday, please find the Linux kernel log attached. This is Debian Sid/unstable with a self-built Linux 3.10 and Alex Deuscher’s drm-next-3.11 branch for AMD/ATI DPM (Dynamic Power Management) merged. The following command was used to strip the date and hostname.
