Hello Gregg,
The IP1150 has a i854 chipset. Everything else on the board is supported 
by coreboot but the i854. This is my next coreboot port (coming soon). 
There is a good site based on the IP1101, but they have the same board 
(Thomson codename mambux). You can check out the site for more info:
