I compiled and installed v.0.9.3-r1322 and still get the same "Generic unknown SPI chip (RDID)" message.
can you please paste a full verbose log i.e. the output of "flashrom -V" at http://paste.flashrom.org/ and mail us the resulting url?

Here is the log:

flashrom v0.9.3-r1322 on Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (i686), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.5.2, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

I compiled and installed v.0.9.3-r1322 and still get the same "Generic unknown SPI chip (RDID)" message.
can you please paste a full verbose log i.e. the output of "flashrom
-V" at http://paste.flashrom.org/ and mail us the resulting url?

In the flashchips.c file I can only locate the SST25VF010.REMS chip, should this cover my SST25VF010A?
i have to confess that i missed the 'A' in the subject, but usually A
versions just replace their predecessors and are (mostly) compatible.

Does flashrom check for a Device ID (for the SST25VF010A it is 49H)?
yes, see flashchips.h:
#define SST_SST25VF010_REMS 0x49 /* REMS or RES opcode */
and as the name suggests it uses the probe_spi_rems function to read
that. i have not looked at the A datasheet yet... lets take a look at
your log first.
