Ah. That explains the concise message style with all the info I needed for diagnosis. >> On 29.09.2009 23:31, Allan Bjorklund wrote: >> >>> A Sony Vaio (PCV-RX650(UC)), with an ASUSTeK mother board (P4B266LM >>> Rev: 1.xx), running Linux kernel 2.6.28. >>> >> Flashrom interacts non-trivially with the embedded controllers in >> laptops, so we recommend not to use flashrom on any laptop. >> > > Actually, this is a VAIO Desktop.

Straight from subversion or from some distribution package? In theory, superiotool should have printed a revision number. > Probing for Winbond Super I/O (init=0x87,0x87) at 0x2e... > Found Winbond W83637HF/HG (id=0x70, rev=0x81) at 0x2e > No dump available for this Super I/O > Hm. Uwe knows these Winbond Super I/O chips very well. Maybe he can add support for your Super I/O. Maybe Luc doesn't need the output. We'll see. A hint about timing, though: Most people in #flashrom live in Europe (roughly UTC+2), so you might want to time your presence in #flashrom to coincide with the evening hours here. That increases your chance to get a response (it still may take an hour until someone there reacts, we're not that big a group).
