So we should find out. Ward - do you have a continuity tester? Could you see if the SPI flash chip is connected to the Super IO? If I get a high-res photo of the Super IO and the flash chip area I can mark the pins that should be connected on both to get a yes/no indication. > > I didn't think that's where the flash chip was actually > > connected. > > AFAIK CK804/MCP55 don't have SPI support. That's why the SuperI/O > adds it. Intel ICH has SPI, but maybe different for NVIDIA chipsets. The logic design controlled by the boot-from-PCI jumper on the m57sli is less obvious with external SPI, but it's still entirely possible. I hope it is this simple! :) //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
