Hello gents, thanks for your time!
I got to a support page for Intel, checked out "OS independent" BIOS files (at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=8736&...)
File name: RC86510A.86A.0044.P18.IB.exe Version: P18 Date: 05/05/2005 Status: Latest Size: 0.83 MB Operating Systems: OS Independent, Windows 2000*, Windows 98 SE*, Windows Me*, Windows XP Home Edition*, Windows XP Professional*
Details: Iflash BIOS Update [RC86510A.86A.0044.P18.IB.exe] - A DOS-based utility to update the BIOS regardless of operating system. It requires a blank floppy diskette.
Problem: it's all ".exe".
Any suggestions?

did
flashrom -w newbios.bin
You need to obtain that file, the support page for your mainboard is a good place to look for an update.
got
newbios.bin: No such file or directory
checked out home directory:
ls
and "backup.bin" is in there. It makes sense that it's in there. The question for me is where bios.bin? I did a search for it on my entire file system and nothing comes up. What does it mean if there is no bios.bin or newbios.bin on my system? What went wrong?
thanks!

ran this:
flashrom -wv newbios.bin
and got this: flashrom v0.9.1-r946 More than one operation specified. Aborting.
what next?

That's strange. A poster named idwer at #flashrom said that it's an old chipset and not supported. Who should I believe? :S
He said "1) r946 is rather old 2) that chip is not known to be erased or written successfully"
This means we did not have a report about the status of the Intel 82802AB. I know that it works reliably in later versions, and the changes since v0.9.1-r946 are minimal. To summarize: It should work.
