Automagically doing the wrong thing is probally not good. I would say that the current behavior is good just not verbose enough. If it does not find an lbtable then it should say so and exit with a example of the right option(s) to use for -m or -f to disable checks. Something like: "Your flash image does not appear to correct for the mainboard I have detected." If you are sure this is a correct image for this mainboard then you can override this check with: -m <mfg:model> or -f to disable this check completely. And then fill in mfg and model with the autodetected values. -- Richard A. Smith -- LinuxBIOS mailing list LinuxBIOS@openbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
