[coreboot] supported laptops

[intorders at cox.net]

Hello, I'm very interested on flashing my laptop, even though the chipset/southbridge appear to be supported in version 2, I would really like to know if this can be done, being a laptop, it would be very difficult for me to recover it from a failed flash attempt. Thank You for your help and information. Alan

Step 1: 
I have a laptop Acer Aspire AS5515-5879, It lists a motherboard name of  “Acer Nile” made by Compal model number KAW60. It originally came with an AMD Athlon 64 2650E that I upgraded to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050E. The chipset lists as ATI RS690/RS690M, Southbridge is ATI SB600. It comes with embedded ATI Radeon X1200 graphics.
