Hello again, I'm at the point trying to figure out how to get linuxbios flashed onto the flash chip. The board I have is a sis530. The flash_on program just tells me it can't access the sis 950 and ./flash_rom gives me a bunch of messages of what it is trying to find. I'm guessing because flash_on didn't work. I've built a kernel with all the chips set as modules and preloaded all the modules. Ron told me that the 550 could be flashed and this is probably not much different, which still may be the case but well... at the moment it doesn't. So I'm wondering, what is the method I would use to go about finding how to enable the flash so that I can burn it. The flash_on is trying to get the sis 950 which was the superio chip used on most of those board. My board is the ITE 8661F. pointers on where to proceed would be appreciated.
if you get really stuck, try the MTD drivers from linux. I am hoping Ollie can help tell what's going on.

So I have been unable so far to make any progress. Using google to search for bios flashing mtd gets me nothing of value. I can't get the flash_and_burn stuff to do anything for me so I hope Ollie can help as well. If there are any resources I should look/read please pass them this way as well.
