[coreboot] T60 - what went wrong?

[Marcus Moeller]

Hi all,

I have flashed my T60 according to the instructions on the wiki:

The final flashing of the image showed the following error:

...
Calibrating delay loop... delay loop is unreliable, trying to continue OK.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7M". Enabling flash write... WARNING: SPI 
Configuration Lockdown activated.
OK.
Found SST flash chip "SST25VF016B.T60" (2048 kB, SPI) at physical 
address 0xffe00000.

This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to [e-mail] if any of the above 
operations
work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom
output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr,
-VE, -Vw), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!

Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything changed.
Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Get help on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail [e-mail] with the subject "FAILED: <your board name>"!

Which is quite similar to the error referenced in this mail:

http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2012-April/009124.html

So I tried to reboot, but the machine does not come up anymore. I am 
going to try to flash it, using an external prommer now, but I need to 
know what went wrong.

Is there perhaps a prebuild image for initial flashing available, that I 
could use?
