Please find the attached log file.
Thanks, Kiran.
Are you absolutely certain that the chip is an SST49LF004? You aren't using a BIOS Savior with a switch in the wrong position? I know this sounds a little odd, but here's the deal: the flash chip vendor and model that flashrom is reporting aren't anywhere near what they should be for that chip. So, either you have a different chip, or else the board is somehow masking the chip ID, and reporting a false one. It could be that the board is somehow disabling access to its own flash chip, and instead copying the BIOS contents to ram (although the more I think about it, the more far-fetched and maybe even impossible that sounds). Do you have a floppy drive that you can use uniflash to try to flash, or at least identify, this chip?
Yes I tried it on ASRock motherboard and it is detecting. I am not using BIOS Savior, instead I am removing the Pm49FL004 chip and inserting the SST49LF004A/B chip in the Bios socket and after that using flashrom utility to do further operations.
Thanks, Kiran.
