trying to flash the new chip with flashrom fails right now, but i don't know why.
here is the output from flashrom, when i try to flash the linuxbios.rom file: ./flashrom -V --mainboard gigabyte:m57sli -w /home/hg87/src/linuxbios/buildrom-devel/linuxbios.rom Calibrating delay loop... 291M loops per second. ok No LinuxBIOS table found.
