Be very, very careful with this. Writing the rom is easy. Finding and setting all of the stupid CMOS type parameters in the romimage is a much more difficult proposition.
this is true. What we have done here is:
- dump cmos with Brian Finley's little cmos reader
- flash bios
- write cmos with Brian Finley's cmos writer

Well luckly the roms were up to date but unluckly that didn't fix the problem. I ended up solving the problem going back to a 2.4.18 kernel from kernel.org. Something redhat patched their 2.4.18 kernel with is also in 2.4.19 and the fix in the 2.4.19-acX and 2.4.20-acX patches would cause the kernel to lock on boot. We just had to patch the driver to the eepro1000 to it and we were readt to go. thanks for the the advice though. I'm sure linuxbios would be much easier to upgrade remotely.
