We list everything in the SB700 family (SB700/SB710/SB750) as SB700. I
have sent a patch to fix this and we'll commit it soon.

Glad to hear. We'll add your board to the list of working boards. It
would be nice if you could reply-all to this mail with the output from
lspci -nnvvvxxx

Hmmm. The Gigabyte board mismatch problem... we can't fix the problem
due to nonstandard PCI settings on these boards, but we can hide it.

Would you mind downloading and compiling the latest flashrom version?
You can get it either from our subversion repository at
svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk or a current snapshot from
http://qa.coreboot.org/snapshots/
The output of latest
flashrom -V
would be appreciated as well so I can check the effect of some recent
changes on your board.

Thanks for your report!

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
