Hello flashrom List !
This is reporting success reading (dumping) the ROM BIOS on my IBM Aptiva 2170-G (actually an ACER V75-M motherboard). This MoBo has the SiS 5595 southbridge, which per flashrom issued warning had been untested.
I have /not/ tried to write or erase, sorry; though have little doubts those operations would succeed similarly.
Many thanks go to the developers!
Hello Bertho and thanks for your report. Read tests are mostly pointless in general, even more without a log. If it is not too much of a hassle please send us the output of flashrom -p internal -V (which only probes for the flash chip). I do fully understand your refusal to test writing (but I am not so sure about its probability of success. Many boards needs a bit of extra effort to disable write protections).
