Hi all,
I want to replace my crappy bios with the coreboot. I looked at the site and it states that my chipset is ok. Here is the flashrom output on fedora 10. ----------------------------- flashrom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH8M", enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run: flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename
Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found automatically. ----------------------------- I have a Sony Vaio Laptop Vgn-Fz21m. But I don't know what is it's chip. What should I do? Any comment is wellcomed.
Best Regards
AAP

don't we all :-)
I hate to give you bad news but it is unlikely that this will work unless you put a lot of effort into it. Sony laptops are very closed in nature.
I wish I had a better answer for you.
sorry

Even the vt was disabled. I had to enable it by myself with some tricks. Well, any idea for a starting point? Should I check every chip whether it reads or not? Or the problem is even worse? AAP
