Need help building - coreboot

24 Sep 2009


      Greetings ,
I just started to dabble with coreboot and would like some advice. I have a
SuperMicro motherboard with intel chipsets and intel P4 2.8GHz CPU. I have
attached an "lspci -vvv" and "flashrom" output at the bottom of the email. I
am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 server.  Anybody compile coreboot for this
type of motherboard  and if so what is the best approach ?
THanks,
/RS
