Dear coreboot team, I just succesfully flashed my bios on a ASUS P5L-MX motherboard. flashrom detects two flash chips, SST25VF040B and SST25VF040B.REMS with the -c option I chose the first, without the -c option flashrom would not perform any action.
I'd be happy to give more information if needed.
Thanks for making this very nice tool :-)
Kind regards Linda Polman
