Re: [LinuxBIOS] cant detect bios with flash software {Scanned}

[David Hendricks]

Can you switch to using the RD1's BIOS, even if it's not flashed yet? It
should be a PMC chip of some sort that flashrom currently supports. It could
be that we simply need to add support for whatever flash chip your mainboard
came with, in which case we'll need you to open up your machine and get the
part number.
