If you're referring to the rom from Qmaster's post from a year ago, it doesn't contain the microcode update needed to run 4.0. See https://review.coreboot.org/22843? . There are some more notes http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking, but be warned it's still pretty rough. I can help you build your own Coreboot image with the patch or if you trust anonymous strangers bearing gifts, send you the one I built for myself. Let me know if you need either! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
