Hello List,
i'm new in this List. Coreboot is an very interesting Project.
Yesterday i've searched in your Support List for my Board. But i've not found anything. This means, that the Board is not supported? Has anyone experience with this board?
Greetings Sascha

I own almost the same board, K8N Neo2 Platinum here, and no, there's virtually no chance of our boards ever being supported. The problem is the datasheets for the nforce3 chipset are covered by a non-disclosure agreement, which means someone would have to appeal to Nvidia and present them with a good enough reason to let you have a peak at them. Typically porting coreboot for a handful of home users is not enough of a reason. If you're looking to upgrade, there are several good socket 939 boards in the supported boards list.

Welcome.

Did you look at [1]? Your board is not listed there but boards with similar names. If the components are similar chances are high to get your board supported. Could you find a board in this list which is similar to yours and list the differences, please?
Thanks,
Paul

Yes i checked the page. My Board is similar to MS-7135 (K8N Neo3). The difference my board has, are: * Supports CPUs to 3400+ * Chipset nForce3 250 * AGP 4x/8x * 2 channel ATA 133/100/66 * 2 Sockets 184pin DDR DIMM Module
I think that's all...

Ok, thanks. As Corey wrote the chipset is currently not supported and no documentation is available. So it is unlikely to get your board supported. Sorry.
Maybe put a supported board on your wishlist for Christmas to get coreboot working.
Bests,
Paul
