Wow - great list.  I did try a number of these things, but you have
some useful additions.

I'll continue to play with it.  However, if someone can try on a known
working board that would also help a lot.

Thanks for the help.

Glad to help.

Wait a second. I thought installing XP with factory BIOS on your machine
does work.

Yes, booting xp on my epia-m works fine with the original bios.  My
epia-m can be a bit flaky with irqs when booting with coreboot.  So,
if someone can try legacybios+coreboot on a machine where coreboot is
known to work well it would be a great help.
