wow, it only took me only 3 hrs to pre-brick the Asus A8N-E I got at ebay for €22.
I would have been faster, but the ROM / IMAGE SIZE of the current revision ist stated as 7F00 instead of 20000hex as in the M57SLI target. Once I fixed that I could flash the current revision - and the POST card gives me a steady 80.
hm, that is interesting. Actually this is what flashrom returns on my A8N-E: # ./flashrom -V Calibrating delay loop... 340M loops per second. ok No LinuxBIOS table found. Found chipset "NVIDIA CK804": Enabling flash write... OK. Probing for Am29F040B, 512 KB probe_29f040b: id1 0x21, id2 0xa7 ... Probing for SST49LF004A/B, 512 KB probe_jedec: id1 0xbf, id2 0x60 SST49LF004A/B found at physical address: 0xfff80000 Flash part is SST49LF004A/B (512 KB) OK, only ENABLING flash write, but NOT FLASHING.
I keep you guys informed but the ASUS A8N target is not even flashable currently (Also the wiki - downloadable ROM image is bad size (20000hex required)).
can you identify the flash chip of your A8N-E ??
I plan to put together a CDROM .ISO file (a remastered dream linux) with the LB tree and ready-to-flash working filo-ROM-image. should be a quickie. --Q
beeing in the middle of my diploma thesis I havn't checked the current svn for a while. Next week I plan to be back at the university where I could get a hand on a bios savior in order to check the state of the current svn revision.
The last revision, that did work for me was 2724
