Hi, sorry for stirring any hopes but I meant that in a more general sense. In general coreboot (together with seabios) would allow any computer (with a support USB controller) to boot from USB. The hard part is to get coreboot on to a board first ;) That all won't help you, but I wanted to make clear that the firmware vendor is to blame and not the hardware. -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
