Hi Jody,
I remember you testing flashrom on a few Sun servers: Sun Fire x4150 Sun Fire x4200 Sun Fire x4540 Sun Fire x4600
Since then, flashrom has evolved a lot, both in chipset support and board support. Would you mind retesting current flashrom from svn and reporting the status? flashrom development has moved to flashrom@flashrom.org and that address is in CC of this mail, so you can just hit reply-all.
Output from "flashrom -V", "lspci -nnvvvxxx" and "superiotool -deV" for each of these machines (and of course for any other machines you happen to test) would be very appreciated. That helps us build our working/non-working board database. dmidecode output would be appreciated as well (system+baseboard manufacturer+product+version), but that is not essential if the boards can be identified by looking at PCI subsystem IDs.
If one of the boards does not work, we ask you to send us a link to a BIOS image (please do not post images to the mailing list) so we can investigate the exact reasons and provide fixes if technically possible.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Carl-Daniel

Since support for those servers was caused by missing ICH SPI support, I think it is safe to remove them from the "unsupported" list. Will send a patch for that soon. Unfortunately, our contact at Sun does not have access to these servers anymore.
