i was looking at the list of supported motherboards for coreboot and one of them is the GIGABYTE ga-ma78gm-us2h

mine is a GIGABYTE ga-ma78gm-s2h

i was looking at the specs on GIGABYTE's website and there does not seem to be a significant difference between the two boards

perhaps someone can explain in a bit more detail the difference?

more importantly is there anything that would prevent coreboot from running on the ga-ma78gm-s2h if it runs on the ga-ma78gm-us2h?

or would i be asking for a bricked mobo if i tried?

is there any way of testing before flashing to know whether or not it will work?

Have you gone over this?:

Also, both the US2H(rev. 1.0 & 2.0) and the S2H (rev 1.0, 1.1, 2.x) have multiple revisions which seem to use different BIOS versions.
