AFAIK the Hardware init of coreboot is somehow based of the linux kernel ?

As a Deblobed Kernel like in Debian is not able to detect an AMD card
without Amd microcode.. is Coreboot not able to detect AMD Cards without
this microcode ?


The problem is that i can not get any AMD cards to work with
coreboot+Seabios on my F2A85M board.
