Today i've got the following error message while trying to write to
a winbond W39V040A chip:

This board is a 650i base chipset. All functions of flashrom work on it. I did not make an erase output it seemed a mute point as I took the bios off the board with a read, erased it, then reflashed and the computer runs fine. Sorry it took so long to get this done luc I had to iron out some ram issues with the board.

Hi Bryan,
could you try latest flashrom from svn? The flashrom svn tree is now at
a different location. More info at
http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Download_.26_Installation .
You are hitting a corner-case bug and I'm not sure if it is still present.

The line above should find the chipset.

The line above should say "failed".

This should never happen.
I think I understand the bug, but could you try to run "flashrom -V" and
mail the output? This will only run the identification step, but in
verbose mode. Thanks.

Hi,
Flashrom seems to not support Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4.
I've only tested read operation, which failed, so I did try the write
operation.
Here are messages from flashrom:

Hi Cédric,
thanks for your report. The flash chip status has been updated.
Unfortunately, it seems your BIOS readout is not 100% complete due to
chipset restrictions.
Please do not try to write. Laptops are very difficult to recover if
something goes wrong.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
