Is coreboot an option for your system?

Manuel

There is a support for a kontron board, but my gu= ess is that I would need to integrate a new support.
This is something = I don't want to do if it's hard and will take time.
I have also= an option to ask for lean bios. I think they are able to reduce bios code.=
What I'm still not sure is if just the dram and the ide/sata is enough = for linux.
