Hello,
I would like to flash my BIOS with Flashrom. However I noticed that for
the chip on my mainboard write has a '?'. Will it not work then?
I have enclosed the -Vr output for more information about my system.
flashrom v0.9.3-r1250 on Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 (x86_64), built with
libpci 2.2.3, GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48), little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OS timer resolution is 2 usecs, 1196M loops per second, 10 myus = 12 us, 100 myus = 101 us, 1000 myus = 997 us, 10000 myus = 10143 us, 8 myus = 10 us, OK.

This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.

Works for me (I've just sent a patch too):

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. Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help! Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Erasing and writing flash chip... Done. Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
