don't forget the wonderfulness of earlyprintk when booting a linux
kernel and you are not sure if it is right.

you just append it to the command line. Here is one example. I use
'keep' when I'm really being paranoid.

earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200,keep

I certainly hope you have a backup flash part. Do you? You really need
to have three parts, and two of them need to be a copy of the factory
bios.

Please try the latest svn version of flashrom and post 'flashrom -V'
output if it still doesn't detect the chip.

Also, please let us know which mainboard this is.

Yes. See http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_mainboards
