Dear Flashrom Hackers,
I wanted to put Libreboot for my GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard,
I downloaded the newest Libreboot rom and burned into the flashchip
from Debian Jessie, unfortunately my system don't boot anymore.
I have a backup from vendor BIOS from the 2 BIOS chips, I had made it before flashing.
I know, I shouldn't reboot after this message(below the email) but I do that, it was a mistake.
What was the problem:
1. Flashrom bug ?
2. Bad Libreboot rom file ?
----
I bought another GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard.
I plan to put a Coreboot to that with the latest flasrom. I compile everything based on coreboot wiki.
https://www.coreboot.org/Board:gigabyte/ga-g41m-es2l
3. What do you suggest I do or I don't ?
4. Flashrom will kill the second one motherboard too ?
5. For the old one can I buy flashrom chips anywhere on the net ?
(I can't use external programmer, but I know guy who can change the bad chip to a new one.)
-----------
I plan a 2. coreboot machine this board is: GA-945GCM-S2L motherboard.
6. Can I put a coreboot for that based this action on Coreboot wiki ?

Thanks for your help!
Zsolt

Hi Zsolt,
if you see this message then flashrom has succeeded and the image was most likely not what it should be. Thus for further information please ask the libreboot guys.
