Ok it seems panic *isn't* the best approach after all:
After dusting off an Intel 82815 + 82801BA (ICH2) based board, and reading the datasheets, I find I can get "flashrom" can detect SST49LF016C as follows:
Vendor BIOS sets southbridge ICH2 for a 1MB decode, with all but the top block having seemingly random IDSEL settings. I corrected this:
# setpci -s 0:1f.0 e3.b=f0 # setpci -s 0:1f.0 e8.l=0
Now flashrom detects the chip, but -w write fails:
Programming Page: sector erase FAILED at address 0xb7c9800 status=0x82 0000 at address 0x00000000sector write FAILED at address=0xb7c98001 status=0x82
and so on for all 512 sectors, but that's progress!
SO now I need:
1) register settings for CK804 LPC decode range 2MB 2) get flashrom working on Intel 815
Regards,
Jeremy

I'm having trouble with Tyan S2865 (K8 + CK804 Ultra), flashrom works for SST49LF080 but not SST49LF016C, and I really wish it would(tm)
Perhaps you can help with more testing so the problem can be identified? For starters:
- How does flashrom fail on S2865?
- Can you try flashrom+016C on another board/chipset?
