[Ralph Loader]

Hi,

Just reporting successful flash upgrade of bios with flashrom for a
board not listed on your website.

Board is a Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H (flashrom output says DS3H), with AMD
790GX / SB750 chipset, and Macronix MX25L8005 rom.

Cheers,
Ralph.

What successful flash upgrade ?
Look at the last line of flashrom's output:

[cmd_]

Successful was on "MA790GP-DS4H" not on "GA-MA78G-DS3H", right?

790GX + SB750 works for me on my DFI (patch was submitted few weeks ago)

GA-MA78G-DS3H have a 780G + SB700, this should work with SB600 SPI patch
like SB750

The command output I cut'n'pasted was not from the invocation that
upgraded the bios - by the time I wrote the email I had rebooted &
checked that the new bios was working, so the original output was long
gone.
