On the channel someone said i could also try to use another mainboard to flash the rom... Is that a possibility with this 'weird' pin there? I still have a couple of nforce2 boards that have the same rom socket so i could prolly test on those too... or doesn't that make any sense? > //Peter > > -- > coreboot mailing list: [email protected] > http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot > -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
