Vendor ID: rca, part ID: rm4100 Found chipset "ICH4/ICH4-L", enabling flash write... OK. NOT FOUND rca:rm4100 M50FW080 found at physical address 0xfff00000. Flash part is M50FW080 (1024 KB). ERASE FAILED @0, val 92!
After this I tried the -E option (worked good) to erase it and than tried again with no luck, same message, any ideas??
Has anyone ever seen this error before??? ERASE FAILED @0, val 92!
Yes, it means the actual flash write mechanism is protected, though the ID command gets through. I had the same thing on another ICH4M board. Might be SMM protection, some GPIO or some other mapping/locking mechanism.
