Hello,

I've got an "855GME-MGF" Board from "DFI". Flashrom didn't work me here:

server ~ # flashrom -w -v 55PMD810.BIN
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel 6300ESB", enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "Winbond W39V040FA" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
                 0007 at address: 0x00070000
Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00000000!  Expected=0xa6, Read=0x49

server ~ # flashrom -E
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel 6300ESB", enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "Winbond W39V040FA" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Erasing flash chip... FAILED!
ERROR at 0x00000000: Expected=0xff, Read=0x49

And I've got another Board, an ALIX.3D3 from PC Engines, the successor
of ALIX.3C3. Here it works fine.

Cheers
 Tobias

Thanks for the report, we added it to the list of (so far) unsupported
boards in 'flashrom -L' and soon also in the wiki.

This board requires a custom write-enable fixup in flashrom.

Thanks, added to the list, too.
