Replying to [comment:8 toc@…]:
I blew away my svn checkout, reapplied the patches, re-ran collecting
the verbose output, and re-attached the results. Must have gotten confused during the last attempt.
With the lock2 patch, flashrom is working in an expected way. It warns for a not so good condition and does something according to that. Reading still does not work, because:
1. the vendor BIOS has set up a flash chip instruction list(opmenu) that does not contain a read instruction(03h), and
2. the vendor BIOS has locked down the list to prevent flashrom setting up a nicer list containing the read instruction. Once locked, it cannot be unlocked unless the machine is reset.
However, the 'fail' patch does not get a fail output. It would be very appreciated if you can help test the 'fail2' patch. The patch should also be applied to r3862 alone without other patches. Please also get the verbose output. If possible, make the execution of the new built the first flashrom execution after a reboot.
