Hello:
I was instructed to send mail to you by Carebear from #coreboot.
I have some issues to report based on the "Golden Image" I received from
him, which was created for the ASRock E350M1.
The first is with hard drive detection - there is a reliability problem
here - only once out of every 5 to 12 times the machine posts will it
detect the hard drive successfully.
The hard drive is a Corsair F120 SSD. I do have another, smaller 16GB
Kingston SSD I can test with.
The second problem is that on booting, GRUB (I do not have the version
on hand -- whatever gentoo is shipping as stable at this point) behaves
very, very strangely with my USB keyboard.
I should point out that it does not work 100% correctly on another
machine under Fedora's grub, so this may bear further testing with
another keyboard.
The following video demonstrates the issue - this is very reproduceable
(I gave exactly this input on the keyboard: "<down>, e, hello there,
test, one, two, three", and only once. You can hear the clicking of my
keyboard.)

I will be traveling until May 31st, and so unable to reply to mail until
then, but I do look forward to working with you all on this.
Thank you!
