Hey guys,

a few days ago I've tried to boot coreboot the very first time on my
"Asus M4A79XTD EVO"[1] but I had no luck, no output(serial/VGA). So
nothing happened at all.

ruik told me on IRC to try the mahogany_fam10, I didn't change anything
because my Super I/O is almost the same. The mahogany_fam10 uses IT8718F
and mine is IT8720F.
"superiotool -d" and "lspci -xxx -vvv" output has been attached to the mail.

The superiotool patch[2] for IT8720F support has been acked already, if
one needs it..
It's slightly different to the IT8718F but the register for the serial
port and some other stuff are equal.

Do you guys have any ideas how to get it working/fixed?
I am very unexperienced in this case so I can't fix it myself :(
