Hi Aleksey,
thanks for your report. I noticed that you come from a @nexenta address. Did you test flashrom under OpenSolaris and Nexenta as well? It should compile and work, but we didn't get any recent test reports.

Reading ok, see log below, but can't write because (I guess) DUAL-BIOS technology is blame it

firmware binary has size 1M...
Yes, flashrom refuses to write images which have a size != the flash chip size. We are currently discussing how an image size mismatch should be handled. That decision is really difficult because a top alignment would work on most x86, but may explode badly on laptops with separate EC flash.
It would be nice if you could test write with a full 2 MB image.

P.S. You sent two almost identical mails. The first mail has been discarded because the contents were almost identical.
