Hi everyone,

This is my second email the first one did not get through, i think..
Anyway, this is a copy of the first one, with a few changes.. :)

i'm new here(obviously), not sure what i'm going into, anyway, i've been
following this page: http://www.coreboot.org/Laptop

i know i dont have a Laptop.. i have a server, just did not find any other
page to help me generate the needed logs.

i've been talking to a few members already, after generating these logs, i
played with flashrom and ended up with a Brick. I already ordered a Bus
Pirate, and i already received my soic clips, so all is not lost.

i have an Intel S3420GPLC Server Motherboard. Specs are here:
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s3420gp/sb/s3420gp_tps_r2_4.pdf

msrtool.log is empty, got a core dump.

rom.bin is here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx4lQySb-zrCT0RmVlB4d2pGa00/edit?usp=sharing

Thankfully the rom looks complete so i should be able to unbrick the
thing.. The board has an ME and a BMC, and yes i know that's probably why i
ended up with a brick. I mean i could see the big warning sign in the docs,
i just, well, wanted to learn something... :P There is a recovery bios on
the thing, but it does not seems to work right now... ;) To think that i'm
actually laughing about it is really something... :)

i hope you guys can use these logs(see attached files).. :)

Oh, one last thing, i have a log of the two commands i used to get my
brick.. the files are just in a raid 0 right now and i've been waiting for
their motherboard to be unbricked to get to them.. hopefully they will be
of use to someone if i can ever upload them to you guys..

thx,

David
