Hallo David
I am currently working on the chip-set that your board uses. So support is in progress. I have debug console running via serial and i am about a 1/3 in to getting the ram initialized. If you think you can help (time is the only real skill required) coding in the support you are more then welcome.
You should get in contact with the flashrom developers to get support for your flash chip. Remove the AMI BIOS lable from the rom chip and read the fist number on the actual chip, should be some thing similar to these http://www.flashrom.org/Supported_hardware. You can find the flashrom developers at freenode.net #flashrom, or flashrom@flashrom.org.
Good luck -Anders

Hey Anders, thanks for the reply.
Good to hear that progress is being made =] I should have some free time available in the coming summer holidays, so I'll try to help out then.
Regarding the rom chip, I got its number (HY29F002TC-90). I'll contact the flashrom developers about support for it.
Cheers, David
