I want to flash coreboot onto my x60s.
Note that the wiki page you refer to does *NOT* include any instructions for building coreboot itself. If you want SeaBIOS for BIOS compatibility and graphics during booting then you must make sure to build a coreboot.rom file which includes the correct VGA BIOS blob for your machine. After you've made a backup of your factory BIOS you can use bios_extract to take the backup apart, and one of the oprom files will be the correct VGA BIOS.
I'm aware of this. Without the VGA BIOS Blob I just would have no monitor output in boot, right?
Is the only way to find out the chip model of my x60s by disassembling and inspecting?
Likely SST25VF016B .
what I have to then to find the information necessary to do the first part of the flashing instruction of http://www.coreboot.org/Lenovo_x60x ? What do I need to change in the patch then?
Try this patch on top of current flashrom svn: http://dpaste.com/1216583/
I did this, patching and installing of flashrom went fine. But now I have the following:
tim@tim-ThinkPad-X60s:~/flash$ sudo flashrom -p internal -r factory.bin flashrom v0.9.6.1-r1675 on Linux 3.2.0-38-generic-pae (i686) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... delay loop is unreliable, trying to continue OK. Found chipset "Intel ICH7M". Enabling flash write... WARNING: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated.
