== Building coreboot ==
Currently there is no special target for the ASUS A8V-E Deluxe in coreboot. Instead, we use the ASUS A8V-E SE target.
You have to apply the following patch to svn so the board boots (at least when using a Sempron CPU which doesn't seem to support an LDT frequency of 1000MHz):

Then, place your payload (usually [[FILO]]) into '''/tmp/filo.elf''' and build coreboot as usual:
$ cd target
$ ./buildtarget asus/a8v-e_se && cd asus/a8v-e_se/asus_a8v-e_se && make
The resulting '''coreboot.rom''' (512 KB) can now be flashed on a ROM chip.
So far it boots up to a FILO prompt for me, but there is an issue with IDE drive detection, it seems. I'll fix this, and also test SATA drives, those might already work fine.
