Hi Jelle,
I'm sorry I didn't see your mail earlier. Luc will investigate the issue you reported.

I've ran flashrom -v {-E,-r,-v,-w} on my MS-7094 board. For more info regarding the board, please see http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&...
I've attached the results to this e-mail. Reading/verifying/writing worked fine. Erasing however, didn't go so well, as you can see in the attached log.
Current flashrom (0.9.1 or later) is a lot more paranoid and it would have detected that the write only succeeded because it didn't change the parts which could not be erased.
BTW, two thumbs up to the flashrom developers: the Award flash utility did not work (kept saying 'Unknown flash type'), but flashrom did. ;)
Thanks! Such feedback keeps us going.
Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK. Found board "MSI K8T Neo2", enabling flash write... OK.
In theory, that board enable routine should have covered the GPIOs needed. However, flashrom detects your board as "K8T Neo2" although it is a "K8T Neo2-F V2.0", so that may explain what you're seeing. The big problem is that these boards often have identical PCI IDs, so differentiating between them is almost impossible.
Could you please mail the output of "lspci -nnvvxxx" to the list? Maybe we find some way to differentiate betweent your board and the K8T Neo2.
