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?
