Since i don't have an modern flash programmer (and this version of the gigabyte doesn't have a dual bios) i am afraid to "brick" this mainboard.
Does it have a socketed bios chip?
Since i can't use the gigabyte tools anymore once i have flashed linuxbios to this board. Is there a way back.
Yes. You can always use "flashrom" from the LinuxBIOS tree to flash back the proprietary BIOS (given you can still boot Linux ;)
