I've been busy and our test lab is being
used to do a regression right now so I've not had time to try and compile
and test the patch you provided.
I do intend to do so, give me a little
more time and I'll see what I can do.
On the topic of IBM and help, I have
been in discussion with IBM about the firmware updates and they have been
very adamant that we need to insure that we update all the devices not
just the BIOS itself. From looking at a handful of their update packages,
I can see that they frequently include updates for riser cards, service
processors and possibly other devices with the BIOS updates. So before
we implement something with flashrom we would want to make sure we're not
missing something that could later cause us issues even if the issues are
only that IBM is unhappy because we didn't follow their update procedures.
IBM's retail group is going through
some changes since Toshiba acquired them. We'll need to wait and
see what the new management is going to do, maybe they will be more open
to open source involvement.
Thanks.

Hello Jason!
I have sent you a patch to try almost a month ago without any reply. I
would like to know if you could solve your problem another way and
don't rely on getting flashrom to work anymore. In any case it would be
much appreciated if you could test the patch i have sent. Is that
possible? If you need any assistance dont hesitate to ask us!
