Hi,
I have tested flashrom r1138 on an Abit VA6 with Atmel AT49F002NT flash. Probe, read, erase, write all work together with this patch: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-August/004439.html
lspci crashes with the -xxx option on this board (the lspci manpage mentions this could happen) so output is with -x only.

=== This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: ERASE The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version, please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the above operations work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr, -Vw, -VE), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.

This looks strange, erase FAILED but the write seems to have been successful anyway? Did you use the correct, patched flashrom version here? Can you retry with latest svn (patch was merged I think)?
Thanks, Uwe.
