Do you have replacement chips to easily recover? There is some information on this in the Wiki. 3. I do not know about it, but I think if 1. and 2. are resolved you could just build an image and try to boot it and look how far you get. You should have a serial cable to log the output. 4. If I remember correctly it is suggested to run coreboot v3 on Geode systems until the features have been ported back to trunk. Thanks and please correct me, if I wrote nonsense, Paul [1] http://www.flashrom.org/
