From 9223b71a4c9a7515fb2d5e2fdffa244ed696a5ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Angel Pons Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2020 19:03:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Doc/mb/lenovo: Explain simpler GM45 flash method first Do not mislead newcomers into thinking the GM45 series laptops are hard to flash. Describe the simple coreboot flashing procedure first, then explain how to remove the ME firmware and use a custom flash layout. Also, reword a sentence on the simple flashing procedure for clarity.
