hello
i'm sorry about my english - perhaps it is one reason why i did't succed with the manuals in the internet. i have a debian system and i can't use some features like the brightness-fn-keys or the system beep. so i tried to install a linux bios on my laptop - thats what i'm thinking flashrom is doing, isn't it? (i tried to understand the targets of http://linuxbios.org/)
so when i run flashrom i receive the following lines: * **africa:/home/mats# flashrom * *Calibrating delay loop... OK.* *No coreboot table found.* *Found chipset "Intel ICH8M", enabling flash write... OK.* *No EEPROM/flash device found.* *If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom* *supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run:* *flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename*
*Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found automatically.*
Whats wrong?
I have an Intel Crestline GM965/GL960+ICH8M Chipset. Is flashrom the right way for the things, which my BIOS doesn't do at the moment? Can you please help me?
