It sounds like you have a RAM init problem (e.g. your RAM is not
working) because the chipset (945GC) is slightly different than
the other 945 variations that we have supported (just a guess)

GDB right now only works from ramstage, which you don't reach yet.
Hence you're out of luck. Try disabling GDB support in coreboot for
now.

This is odd.. because the boards web page says it can do 667

So does this...

... check if 800MHz FSB makes sense..

Definitely something is going wrong with the clock crossing.. you might
need a special set of clock crossing values for your chipset..

Looking at the code and the register values with the original bios might
help. Look at util/inteltool for a tool to dump those registers.

This is usually a clear sign that RAM is not working because the code
coming after this point would run out of RAM.

You can try enabling a more comprehensive ram check here..
