Thanks for testing!
Writing fails.
This may be because the chip was not erased before writing?
tt:/home/tom # flashrom -w /original.rom Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK. SST49LF040B found at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash part is SST49LF040B (512 KB). Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. ERASE FAILED!
Hm - this error message is not in the flashrom write code path?
Please check if erasing the flash chip (with -E) works. The most reliable way is to erase, then read back into a file and run hexdump on the file.
