Hi,

First of all, congratulations for your work! I wish you a great
success with coreboot, it really is an interesting and useful project.
I have a laptop with the following material. Do you think I can
install Coreboot?

Motherboard: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
	            Product Name: SANTA ROSA CRB
chipsets: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
	      Product Name: Crestline & ICH8M Chipset
processor: Intel Core 2 Duo

The lspci -tvnn command gives me the following:

Controller [8086:283e]

I don't know what I/O chip is on the mainboard, and superiotool -dV
fails to find anything, and the result of flashrom -V is attached in a
file.

And thanks for your hard work!
