Before being merged with the commitdc6e1f32c1("Import website-build to build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git repository. And so, even after the merge, until the commit20d122e94a("website-build: use website from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and still downloaded the website from git. This prevented merging the website and website-build directories together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled website repository as well. Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things around. In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

title: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L desktop board

This is a desktop board using intel hardware (circa \~2009, ICH7
|
|
southbridge, similar performance-wise to the Libreboot X200. It can make
|
|
for quite a nifty desktop. Powered by libreboot.
|
|
|
|
IDE on the board is untested, but it might be possible to use a SATA HDD
|
|
using an IDE SATA adapter. The SATA ports do work.
|
|
|
|
You need to set a custom MAC address in GNU+Linux for the NIC to work.
|
|
In /etc/network/interfaces on debian-based systems like Debian or
|
|
Devuan, this would be in the entry for your NIC:\
|
|
hwaddress ether macaddressgoeshere
|
|
|
|
Alternatively:
|
|
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom extract -n rt8168-macaddress -f rt8168-macaddress
|
|
|
|
Modify the MAC address in the file `rt8168-macaddress` and then:
|
|
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom remove -n rt8168-macaddress
|
|
cbfstool libreboot.rom add -f rt8168-macaddress -n rt8168-macaddress -t raw
|
|
|
|
Now you have a different MAC address hardcoded. In the above example, the ROM
|
|
image is named `libreboot.rom` for your board. You can find cbfstool
|
|
under `coreboot/default/util/cbfstool/` after running the following command
|
|
in the build system:
|
|
|
|
./build module cbutils
|
|
|
|
You can learn more about using the build system, lbmk, here:\

Flashing instructions can be found at

Kingston 8 GiB Kit KVR800D2N6/8G with Elpida Chips E2108ABSE-8G-E
|
|
|
|
this is a 2x4GB setup and these work quite well, according to a user on IRC.
|
|
|
|
Many other modules will probably work just fine, but raminit is very picky on
|
|
this board.
