I got these instructions from here maybe its missing the -i option in the instructions.

I figured it out. I cloned git repository to get your changes and didn't find the bios files you were talking about until I went to where I extracted the tar file. So there I found the seabio files you were talking about. So I moved the scripts you fixed over and everything is working now. I think making the instructions just a slight bit more clear may help.

hi. thanks for reporting! are you sure you used the latest released version? the -i <image> option should really be optional and you should be able to choose one of our 2 released images; directly after extracting the tar archive.

[DanitiKain]

yes I used the latest version snd grabed from git hub.

Nothing seems to have changed in this part of the script between now and the 0.1.0 release -.- but since copying today's script over to the 0.1.0 release directory fixes your problem, the upcoming release will fix your problem.

Can anybody reproduce this?

[DanitiKain]

To be clear. The problem was not fixed by just copying it over. I had to use the -i option even with the latest version that I cloned down to my machine.

what's the filename of your image? Did you change that? thanks.

[DanitiKain]

I did not change it. Was the same file name that I extracted from the tar file in 0.1.0 release. All I did was git clone the updates and then copy over the two .sh files to the untar directory for 0.1.0 release. When I get back to the laptop I was working on this on I will try and remember to update this post with the file name.

x230_coreboot_seabios_2ca2acc51f_top.rom
x230_coreboot_seabios_2ca2acc51f_top.rom.sha256
x230_coreboot_seabios_free_2ca2acc51f_top.rom
x230_coreboot_seabios_free_2ca2acc51f_top.rom.sha256

These are the file name.

we need someone to reproduce this. I recently used the script again and couldn't find the mistake.

please re-open in case you still have this problem, ok?
