[flashrom] testing DELL Dimension 4100

[Bertho Grandpied]

Testing Dell Dimension 4100 : Pentium III and Intel 815 (82815 + 82801BA, ICH2) based desktop machine from ca yr 2000.

This chipset should be supported IIUC, but flash chip is not detected :(

Flashrom was run under MS-DOS (log appended) - notice how I had to specify the "not-a-laptop" override because of insufficient DMI tables. Please notice also the "warning" about being unable to set Bios Control at 0x4e : thus the question arises, is that Intel chipset variant supported or is it not ?

Additionally I ran 'Linux/sensors-detct'  FWIW : "probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/2f", "SMSC LPC47M10x/112/13x" fan sensors were found.

Any further software probe I can try before opening up the box in the hope of finding what BIOS chip was used by visual inspection ?

Regards...
