It looks like your board is supported: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/050002.html http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/050004.html Note that there seem to be several PCB revisions: v3.1, v5.0, v6.0, v8.0: http://www.google.nl/search?&q=site:ecs.com.tw+ECS+k7vta3 > > # flashrom -r bios.old > flashrom v0.9.4-r1394 on Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (i686), built with > libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.6.1, little endian > flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org > > Calibrating delay loop...

No: 1) that file isn't a BIOS file and 2) the filesize won't match the chip's size. Unzip that .exe file and write "K7V330D.BIN" instead. The "-v" parameter is for verifying chip content against files (on any filesystem). > Should I add any -V just in case too? Adding "-V" and saving the output would be helpful, yes. > > _______________________________________________ > flashrom mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
