There is a Filter to stop booting when the CPUID is not in a list of supported CPUs. This filter does not make sense in the real world usage. For example socket 775: When you enter a working cpu, then it boots. In some cases the coreboot code didnt work with a CPU where it should. For example some Pentium-4 CPUs. Then it crashes even before raminit. But when you add a CPU that "would" work but is not listed in the CPUID lists from coreboot, the machine didnt boot. If you simply add the CPUID to the list everything works fine.
In short: The only thing this CPUID list is doing is blocking functionality and adding work (a list that have to be maintained). Nothing else. If a CPU is not supported, it crashes after 4-5 lines of logfile - even before the raminit. Thats before this CPUID list is been checked. Please remove those CPUID lists.
