As far as I know the way the Dell flashing tools work is that they upload the new bios image to ram, and set a flag (in cmos?) for the bios to reflash itself on the next boot from the ram image. So that doesn't really help us with regard to flashrom, I'm afraid. > > Besides that, it would be nice if someone could add generic Dell support > > to flashrom. +1 Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
