[coreboot] Will coreboot work on my laptop?

[MingHeng Wang]

Hello everyone,
I have a HP stream 11 x360 laptop. It has the following outputs
performing the commands listed in coreboot FAQ:

WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop.
Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we
recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller
(EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
See the manpage and http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.

If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop
and write may brick your laptop.
Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight
failure and sudden poweroff.
You have been warned.

Aborting.
Error: Programmer initialization failed.

Will coreboot work on it? Thanks in advance.

[coreboot] Could coreboot work on my laptop?

[Lionel Broche]

Hi,

First of all, congratulations for your work! I wish you a great
success with coreboot, it really is an interesting and useful project.
I have a laptop with the following material. Do you think I can
install Coreboot?

Motherboard: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Product Name: SANTA ROSA CRB
chipsets: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
  Product Name: Crestline  ICH8M Chipset
processor: Intel Core 2 Duo

The lspci -tvnn command gives me the following:

-[:00]-+-00.0  Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory

   \-1f.3  Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus
Controller [8086:283e]

I don't know what I/O chip is on the mainboard, and superiotool -dV
fails to find anything, and the result of flashrom -V is attached in a
file.

And thanks for your hard work!

Lionel
