Oh? I thought we got something based on the memory chip specs. Someone
will have to work on making these optimal at some point anyway.
I do have memtest errors in two specific memory addresses, which haven't
surfaced with a known good coreboot-v2 based firmware, but it's still
chugging along here with it.

How about coreinfo as payload with libpayload configured to Geode Video
support? That's the only video output I've gotten as well. lxfb doesn't
work with 2.6.25 (with any BIOS firmware) for me, and I haven't gotten to
try 2.6.24 with v3 yet. Launching X with native driver (xf86-video-geode
is the minimal that can work with coreboot) leads to kernel oopses as
mentioned many times before, possibly involving mfpgt (or some other
ordering of those letters :).
Regular console obviously doesn't work, as there is no VGA BIOS running,
and it seems there's quite some resistance to get that added in too
anyway.
All the other problems I've noted before (thread titled "DBE62 status")
were noticed over a ssh session, with kernel spitting to serial console
(where the oopses were visible).
