[coreboot] [Coreboot ] LGA775 support

[Stefan Reinauer]

You might be seeing an issue with the ram controller setup.
I've seen a very similar issue where RAM just seemed to work
fine until you would set up the MTRRs, creating a higher load
on the RAM controller.

You should compare the registers of MCHBAR (See inteltool)
between coreboot and the original BIOS.

I suspect that tje i945GC was only tested with Atom processors
whereas Intel Core CPUs were tested with 945GM chipsets.

on another note, did you add

select NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_SUBTYPE_I945GC

to your mainboard Kconfig?

Yes, about 250 different ones.
