Hi all. I want to flash on of my X60s with a coreboot using flashrom. I did search the flashrom list archive, and I found the "FAILED: MX25L1605 on Thinkpad X60s" (http://bit.ly/NetLop) and related "Lenovo T60 Type 8743-GZU - RAM Support? 3Gb or 4Gb" (http://bit.ly/Mfhi1W) threads. Despite what the heading says, those threads do treat about a successful flashing of a stock X60s with flahshrom utility. There is is almost a complete descripton of what to do, and what to use. However, for me there's one piece of the puzzle missing - the patch. Peter writes:
"[..]You need the flashrom source, a small patch, and my bucts utility from http://git.stuge.se/?p=bucts.git"
The flashrom is readily available from SVN, the bucts from git, but what are the patches and where to get them from? And, if worst comes to the worst and I brick my X60s, would I be able to resurrect it using a programmer and a SOIC-8 clip (http://bit.ly/Nj8Sdx)? Or rather (de)soldering would be necessary?
Best regards, t.
