As requested I have attached output of lspci under OEM BIOS and coreboot.

Due to the lack of CPU in socket #2 the board becomes a little crippled; 
2nd PCIe slot and 2nd ethernet no are longer available; maybe coreboot 
would work OK with both sockets populated but the single socket 
configuration has not been encountered?
