"sputnik" - I like it. it has good contrast with the text.
adds support for new board
new version of libreboot 9/07/16 not sure why though.
my sputnik r20160902 version:
./ich9gen --macaddress MY:MA:CX:AD:DR:SX
./cbfstool ~/x200.rom remove background.jpg -n background.jpg
./cbfstool ~/x200.rom add -f background.jpg -n background.jpg -t raw
I upgraded to the newest libreboot release and this really improves the
performance of 3D applications such as Blender.
New version! "The latest stable release is 20160902, released on 2016-09-02"

Hehe, sure, but I was more thinking of the situation where one already made
the mistake of flashing it with the built in one. Jxself santo subito :P

you described previously"

Yes.
The problem is, that, if you want more powerful CPUs, you must to buy one
with microcode. Only alternatives are ARM, Core2Duo-Quad.
Microcode isn't a malware function that can only be removed by Intel. It is a
function of the chip - how hardware instructions communicate with raw
silicon.
Even if they released source code you probably couldn't change it. It could
be malicious but you're best getting a chip designed
They're fine for heavy usage every day. People use Libreboot systems for
servers and other uses.
I think at this point we are focusing on numbers rather than real-world
performance.
No, CPUs with more IPC are "i" series, and have microcode (backd00r, powerful
rootkit) built-in, no one can remove it, only Intel.
Well, that sucks because I feel the IPC from Core2 and pre-Zen Chips are like
the new Pentium 4, they're trash.
Though, I think the dual opterons can still be usable depending on how
multithreaded your workload is and can afford the electricity, but there's
stuff to look forward to like
That is all true.
But you are best randomising it in software, as opposed to hardware. The
default could still identify you on a network, if you are only one or two of
people with such a MAC address (and if there are two of you, there is a fair
chance that the network would crash, not

This seems a little hyperbolical. A website you are accessing on the internet

Why don't you ask them on IRC?
On asus kfsn4-dre there is long delay before it boot.
In coreboot there is no such bug still don`t understend why this is not fixed
yet in libreboot.
How do you patch the rom ? Or should I build the rom from source with the MAC
address changed ?
Will Libreboot ever support a board that supports a CPU with more IPC than a
Core 2 Duo/Pre-Zen AMD?
that explains why you didn't get two hours. :)
anyways though, thanks for giving me that information.

9 cell or 6 cell?
just curious...
Update done, battery gain one more hour

Utilities archives is now source only. You will need to compile the
packages in there (build scripts included, and a script for installing
build dependencies in Trisquel 7). (binary utility archives are
planned again in the next
Yea I noticed the time difference between our posts, meh...
Regardless I don't know when they actually uploaded it.
so idk
Here is what I did with some help from the libreboot chatroom:
IF you download the libreboot_r20160818_util tar,
extract it, and go inside the folder, then go to flashrom directory with the
terminal emulator...
then type make or sudo make or w/e and then everything should go extremely
You need to compile the libreboot_util binaries from source for this release,
or just use the old binaries from last release. This worked for me.
They added it after I wrote such commenting.
Can you give details of your GuixSD machine? Are you using it as the sole OS?
Thanks.
I can't update, flashrom binary not present... ??
sudo ./flash update
~/libreboot_r20160818_grub_x200_8mb/x200_8mb_esqwerty_vesafb.rom

Mode selected: update
flashrom binary not present

This is not a good idea people. Two libreboot people doing that meet up, use
the same network, and get their network interfaces shutdown because duplicate
MAC addresses were found on the network. Think it's not likely? Imagine the
FSF's yearly Libreplanet conference just as an example. Or
Actually one mirror has it. I just upgraded my system with it so...
try the first main mirror. That should yield the results you seek.
None of the mirrors have it yet.
:-(
Indeed, you have to patch each ROM, as the ./flash script erases the flash
chip. The generic ROM you download from the website has a flash write
descriptor with default MAC address.
Heh, I just flashed the last beta today! What good luck.
I mean this:
https://libreboot.org/docs/install/index.html#flashrom
https://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/gm45_remove_me.html#ich9gen
This sounds great! I can't wait to flash it on my GuixSD machine! Congrats to
the Libreboot team! :-D
I always flashed ROMs with default MAC address.
It will be necessary to prepare the ROM with the own MAC address or just use
the flash script to update the BIOS?
Anyway these news sounds very good for me:
256MiB VRAM allocated on GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400) instead of 32MiB. This
is an improvement over both Lenovo BIOS and Libreboot
A new stable version of Libreboot has been released today!

Although none of the mirrors seem to have it yet.
