had a bad flash.. how to flash with PCI card?

[FlyingHamster]

I just had a bad flash on my 9800pro. I was trying to flash to the gigacube bios. I did it perfectly fine on my last 9800pro, but this time something went wrong (even tho Im pretty sure I did the same thing). when I rebooted theres no text, just color lines.

I have a pci card so I tried to flash it with the pci card plugged in. When I typed "atiflash -f -p 0 biosfile.bin" I got the message "The VGA BIOS file does not match with VGA card!". After I flash the card, I remove the floppy and restart or turn off the comp... thats ok right?

the files I have on my ms-dos startup disk are: Gigacube.9800PRO.128.Samsung.bin, ATIFLASH.EXE, DOS4GW.EXE, and atiflash.cfg. is that right?

any suggestions? maybe I dont have the right stuff on my floppy.. :rolleyes:

I just did the commands again and its sitting there saying this:

wow I figured it out. Flashrom 1.6 was the culprit. for some reason it didnt let me force the flash. I tried flashrom 1.3, and bam, it worked first try. got the card working fine now. thanks for your help guys.
