Hi everybody........We are working on Linux Bios.Initially we read the Bios (Pm49FL004 ) content that is present in the K8Upgrade-VM800Motherboard in to a file (jan14),then we removed the Bios chip and inserted the new flashrom (SST49LF004B) and tried to write the contents on to the new flashrom but flash is not happening properly and Bios is not written to the Bios chip......why it is not happening please guide us .........I included all the steps clearly ........
