    $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

    Thanks for your answer and help. I understand you correctly that after I executed the command

    $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

    Then I can update my ROM (for example, I now have 2023.06.25) by running the commands:

    1. Boot with kernel parameter iomem=relaxed
    2. Download and install ** flashprog** since flashrom will not work (for me it shows the chip size as 8Mb instead of 12Mb)
    $ git clone  https://github.com/SourceArcade/flashprog.git
    $ cd flashprog
    $ make 
    $ sudo make install
    
    1. Check for errors with the command: $ sudo flashprog -p internal

    4 Flash $ sudo flashprog -p internal -w seabios_withgrub_t440plibremrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_ukqwerty_grubfirst.rom

    And can I be sure that after turning on my computer I will see Grub Libreboot?

      Yeah, that’s basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected

        Thank you, kind person)) I installed it, but after installation my screen is too bright and this happens every time, so for now I will use the latest test version, it works well.

        I have another question, please tell me how, in your opinion, I can edit grub.cgf correctly so as not to get an error with searching for disk "ahci1"

        I inserted these lines:

        ...........
        
        	echo # Insert newline
        
        }
        
        menuentry 'Load  GNU/Linux-Libre (LTS)' {
        
        	cryptomount -a
        
        	set root='lvm/matrix-rootvol'
        
        	linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-libre-lts root=/dev/mapper/matrix-rootvol cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:lvm
        
        	initrd /boot/initramfs-linux-libre-lts.img
        
        }
        
        menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks)  [o]' --hotkey='o' {
        

        and deleted these ones since I don’t use raid:

        menuentry 'Load Operating System (incl. fully encrypted disks)  [o]' --hotkey='o' {
        
                if [ "${grub_scan_disk}" != "ata" ]; then
        
        		search_grub ahci
        
        	fi
        
        	if [ "${grub_scan_disk}" != "ahci" ]; then
        
        		search_grub ata
        
        	fi
        
                # grub device enumeration is very slow, so checks are hardcoded
        
                # TODO: add more strings, based on what distros set up when
