Read it in initially makes sense. But create a file in all cases? What if they are on a readonly file system when running flashrom (which I do frequently)? But if it is unchanged after an erase, then further action may be bad. I have had cases where the flash "seemed" to fail, but the flash part was fine. Trying to restore it might make it worse if the cause is a timing or MTRR issue. I've seen that too. Automatic recovery is very tricky in these cases. as for traffic such as this, I think leaving it on coreboot is fine. We are not a heavy traffic list at present. ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
