FAILED: x60s - flashrom

2 Aug 2019


      Dear people,
Hello. My name is Masaru Suzuqi.
I have been trying to libreboot the x60s. This is the first time for me 
to try to libreboot.
Finally I have just succeeded to proceed to the step "./flash".
Then I got below message. There was your email address. So I am writing 
this message.
Would you mind teaching me what I should do?
This message binds me.
...
Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Get help on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom@flashrom.org with the subject "FAILED: <your board name>"!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!
I cannot do anything. I am afraid but I have no language skills to chat 
and I have not used IRC. I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you very much for reading this message.
Sincerely,
Masaru Suzuqi
