Actually, the last 4k is erased to 0xff.
But the last 4k can not be read. Only get 0x00 back.

It looks like this error is not consistent. You can run flash_rom multiple times and it will eventually flash successfully using kernel 2.6.5 (Use the -v flag). Weird...

Ollie,
The problem happens in all above 4G RAM installed and in 2.6.5.

Ollie,
I checked the flash_rom, and find that you remove the code for check if
the
sector is really erased.
Also I found the flash_rom can not work under 2.6.4.and 2.6.5 in x86_64 mode, and it seems only last 4k can not be erased. [0x7f000, 0x7ffff].

We don't have any of your problems here except for the old 49lf040 stability issue. We tried with systems with more than 4GB of ram.
