Hi people,
Converted my Lenovo Chromebook for gaming (Taniks) to Fedora.
Dissconnected the battery to unlock the wp.
Used it for a few months, now ive got to get it to Lenovo for repairs, and have to revert it back to stock. Dissconnected the battery again, booting from a live Fedora USB, to run the script. But i cant revert.
Got the following message
Chromebox Firmware Utility Script starting up

Flashrom is unable to read current firmware; cannot continue:

You may need to add ‘iomem=relaxed’ to your kernel parameters,
or trying running from a Live USB with a more permissive kernel (eg, Ubuntu 23.04+).
If you have UEFI SecureBoot enabled, you need to disable it to run the script/update your firmware.
MrChromebox Firmware Utility setup was unsuccessful
Whats the problem with the script ?
