Can you switch to using the RD1's BIOS, even if it's not flashed yet? It should be a PMC chip of some sort that flashrom currently supports. It could be that we simply need to add support for whatever flash chip your mainboard came with, in which case we'll need you to open up your machine and get the part number.

As far as i can see its not showing the rom number :(
I cant seem to find a version number for flashrom, but it was downloaded via svn on 29 June (this year!!)
I am running this on 'Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger"' Kernel : 'Linux ubuntu 2.6.12-9-386 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:14:36 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux'
on an VIA EPIA-PD10000 m/board
