It is a bad sign if you had to force the chip type for the read operation.
$ flashrom -f -w -c M50FW016 mydump Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH", enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found.
Force write can't work because the strategy for access is unknown.
I'd appreciate any assistance as all this flashing stuff is new to me. Basically what i'm trying to accomplish is having my linux system running as the payload, but i'm stuck with even re-writing the same bios-dump i've just read from the bios... I'll post any further information required to diagnose this further.
Can you run flashrom -V and report the results to this list?
We may need to change the chipset/board enable sequence for your board.
