Hi !
My previous attemps to put coreboot on my laptop (Asus G1, with
vgarom on bios) have failed.
I want to keep trying to get something to work but it is a real pain
in the behind to keep taking out the flash chip and reprogramming it. I
think it could be easier to have coreboot booting the original bios ,
and run any other payload on some key press (or something like that).
This would be pointless, you must have coreboot really work to achieve
it. And if coreboot works, why bother to get your proprietary BIOS
running?
Main reason :
I think coreboot is doing something. But i dont think the vgarom is
being loaded (or working).
So, to try differents things (changes in code, changes in rom, etc) and
not to open up the laptop every time i think i got it, it would be ideal
to boot to the original bios and reflash.
The other option would be putting inside 2 flash chips, and an
external switch to enable one or the other. Im not sure if this is
possible using not so many wires...
That way, i could keep flashing new code to try, and in case it doesnt
work just boot the orig. bios and reflash. (this is asuming coreboot
gets to run)
Is it possible ? Or, do you have any other sugestions to keep trying ?
Thanks.
Cristi
