Could you please send "flashrom -V" output and "lspci -nnvvvxxx" from SystemRescueCD and GRML to this list? Maybe a comparison will shed some light on this. Please make sure to use exactly the same flashrom version on both.
Thank you, lspci yielded some interesting information. On the linux that works, there are two kernel modules associated with device 8086/24C0 (where the write enable register is located): iTCO_wdt and intel-rng. Those modules are not present on the linux that doesn't work.
intel-rng is particularly interesting since the random number generator is located in the firmware hub. I think we're close to the answer, but still have to figure out what this code is doing.
Thanks, Dan
