Is there a newbies list? I thought I would attempt to upgrade the firmware of a SiI3124 SATALink PCI card plugged into a P4XP-X motherboard. Stage one seems to be to run flashrom -V (attached). It seems that P4XP-X isn't listed in flashrom -L, so maybe I could "test" somehow?
How can I probe for the sata card? On another computer with an intel board, the intel supplied bios executable contains EV0482C.BIO and EV0482C.ITK. .BIO seems promising as "BIOS", but the .ITK looks as though it contains all the strings - presumably both files are necessary for an upgrade? Pointers to a FM welcome... Cheers, Patrick
