Yeah, I think the idea is that if there is a lb_header, i.e. if this machine already runs LinuxBIOS, flashrom can figure out exactly which mainboard it is much more easily. For machines running a proprietary BIOS, this is much more difficult - you have to look at pci ids etc, and they are not always unique (vendors like to reuse them....). This is just my 10,000 feet view, without actually looking at that code ;) Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
