Good Morning, Uwe: I checked for the BIOS support, so, here we go: Password: Calibrating delay loop... ok No LinuxBIOS table found. Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP55": Enabling flash write... OK. Pm49FL004 found at physical address: 0xfff80000 Flash part is Pm49FL004 (512 KB) No operations were specified. (And I thought it was an SST49LF family flash). I will try out the bios with this board, just let me buy a couple of blank pm49LF004 parts (incidentally, i am glad it's pm49lfxxx and not sst49lfxxx, the pm49 family is really easy to get here!)
Ok, so, after I get my new chips, what proceeds? (I will patch whatever needs to be patched, too!) Thanks!
