FLASHROM.EXE Flash ROM BIOS Update Utility
UY15-4
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mouse drivers, display enhancement utilities, and other programs sometimes take control of the interrupt 10h
vector. Unfortunately we cannot re-initialize the BIOS after its update without forcing a reboot in this case. If you
do not want the system rebooted press the Esc key to abort FLASHROM. If rebooting the system is acceptable,
press any other key and the system will boot after the BIOS is initialized. To avoid this message, you can boot the
system using several clean boot techniques as described in your DOS manuals, then run FLASHROM.
Not enough memory!
The amount of free system memory below 640 Kilobytes is not enough to run FLASHROM. Free up more system
memory and run FLASHROM again.
Programming Flash Rom at [segment]...
FLASHROM.EXE is now programming the Flash ROM at the memory segment specified.
Please wait...
FLASHROM is working.
Flash ROM Programmed OK...
FLASHROM has completed programming the Flash ROM.
Unsupported EEPROM Chip Identified : ID=AA55
FLASHROM has identified the Flash ROM as neither the Intel 28F256A or AMD 28F256, or the video BIOS is
being shadowed. Remove the video BIOS shadowing or replace the Flash ROM with either the Intel 28F256A or
AMD 28F256 and try again.
ERROR: Failed to open “file.bin”
FLASHROM has failed to open the specified binary file. Check to ensure that the file is in the correct format.
ERROR: Invalid file.
The file which you are attempting to load into Flash ROM is not a valid file type, only VGA BIOS images can be
loaded into the Flash ROM.
ERROR: File larger then 32k.
The file which you are attempting to load into Flash ROM is larger than 32 Kilobytes in size, and therefore is
probably not a valid VGA BIOS image.
The default Video interrupt handler for interrupt 10h
was replaced by an unknown software utility, such as
a mouse driver. This program will force the system to
reboot after the video BIOS has been updated.
This could be also caused by chip being shadowed.
