Hi...
first:
[root@phenom trunk]# ./flashrom -V
flashrom v0.9.1-r990 on Linux 2.6.32-ARCH (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.3 20100316 (prerelease)
No coreboot table found.

This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
WARNING: No chipset found. Flash detection will most likely fail.
Calibrating delay loop... 424M loops per second, delay more than 1011355431720o short, recalculating...
... and it halts there... (actually it doesnt, look at the end of mail) This is the first cosmetic fix:

That doesnt help with the 100% CPU + "halt" (i dont know how long it would take...).
I know that flashrom doesnt support K8S-MX (the internal driver anyways). I'm just back at work with serprog on this machine,
so it seems funny to test the delay abilities of the host system even with -p serprog ...

uh so it isnt halted, just taking a long time (continuation to that log)
" 370M loops per second, delay more than 1011355432146o short, recalculating...373M loops per second, delay more than 1011355432350o short, recalculating... "
(I left it on while lookin at that % thing)...

Then it scans for flash chips on this thing and finds nothing, which is normal. Note that i'm running on x86_64 (if it works on 32-bit machines, i think that might have something to do with this, not sure.).
