#121: Failure to mmap /dev/mem needs a better error message ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: lymanrb@… | Owner: stuge Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: flashrom | Version: Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by stuge): * owner: somebody => stuge * priority: major => minor * type: defect => enhancement * status: new => assigned Comment: This happens because CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM (pre 2008-07), CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM or CONFIG_X86_PAT are set in your kernel. Although flashrom can do nothing about any of these, I will add this information to the error message, so I'm not closing the ticket just yet. -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/ticket/121#comment:1> coreboot <http://www.coreboot.org/>
