Hello,
I received the following while trying to use flashrom to install an
updated bios.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I have an ASUS M2NBP-VM CSM motherboard.
desktop2 at Desktop2:~/Downloads$ sudo flashrom -w 1101.BIN
flashrom v0.9.1-r946
No coreboot table found.
Found ITE Super I/O, id 8716
Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP51", enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
Disabling flash write protection for board "ASUS M2NBP-VM
CSM"... OK.
