+				<li>LRDIMM memory modules are currently incompatible</li>
+				<li>
+					SAS (via PIKE 2008 module) requires non-free option ROM (and SeaBIOS) to boot from it
+					(theoretically possible to replace, but you can put a kernel in CBFS or on SATA
+					and use that to boot GNU, which can be on a SAS drive. The linux kernel can use
+					those SAS drives (via PIKE module) without an option ROM).
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					IPMI iKVM module (optional add-on card) uses proprietary firmware. Since it's for
+					remote out-of-band management, it's theoretically a backdoor similar to the Intel
+					Management Engine. Fortunately, unlike the ME, this firmware is unsigned which
+					means that a free replacement is theoretically possible. For now, the libreboot project
+					recommends not installing the module. <a href="https://github.com/facebook/openbmc">This project</a>
+					might be interesting to derive from, for those who want to work on a free replacement.
+					In practise, out-of-band management isn't very useful anyway (or at the very least,
+					it's not a major inconvenience to not have it).
+				</li>
+				<li>Graphics: only text-mode works. See <a href="#graphics">#graphics</a></li>
+				<li>
+					Potential issues with the 2nd NIC (see footnote 7 on 
+					<a href="https://raptorengineeringinc.com/coreboot/kgpe-d16-status.php">KGPE-D16 status page</a>)
