I've a big problem. Of course, I made a backup of my old bios with flashrom -r oldbios.bin. Then I tried to flash my HP Compaq 615 with flashrom v0.9.1-r792 and got the following "warning":
No coreboot table found. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC,FWH,SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "SST SST25VF016B" (2048 KB, SPI) at physical address 0xffe00000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Writing flash chip... Erasing flash before programming...

Your flash chip is in an unknown state. Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom@flashrom.org! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!
After reading the flash contents with flashrom -r newbios.bin I compared the old bios with the new one. They differ. What can I now do?
Best,
