Hi,
as we found out in IRC yesterday, flashrom needs boardenable code to function for the Sun Fire v40z mainboard.
I attached the output of # flashrom -V &> flashrom.txt # superiotool -deV &> superiotool.txt # lspci -nnvvvxxx &> lspci.tx flashrom and superiotool were checked out from svn.
The official Bios download is a bit tricky as you need a Sun Premium account to access it :-/ Anyway, here is the link: http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v40z/downloads.jsp If you don't have such an account and need the Bios, send me a note.
Documentation however is freely available under [1] (the "Sun Fire v40z Server Architectural Whitepaper" may be of interest) and [2] (see "Full Components List" and "Related Documentation").
If you need more information or help, just ask me.
Greetings,
Mark
