I had alot of problems with the RD1 bios savior on my EPIA5000 board. I
lost track of the times I tried to flash it, it certainly seemed alot
more than 10 times. In the end I wrote a small script to just sit there
and try and flash the RD1 bios until it verified. It actually worked on
the 5th attempt. I now have the original bios in the RD1 flash and am
using the on-board flash for linuxbios (although it does not boot yet).
The on-board flash, programs first time. There is a note on the
Linuxbios web site about the RD1 bios savior and the fact that it
doesn't program very well. Of course the EPIA-M has a different chipset
so there may be other problems, but I suspect it is just down to the
flash on the RD1.<br>
