simple question on fallback/normal images

[steven james]

Greetings,

You can disable that in the Config by changing:
mainboardinit southbridge/intel/82801/cmos_failover.inc USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE
to
mainboardinit southbridge/intel/82801/noop_failover.inc USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE

That's where the decision gets made.

G'day,
sjames
