Hi,
As requested using svn version of flashrom (r885) , after cold boot (unplugged power cable to reset buggy 3ware 9550SE). This is a machine running opensuse 11.2 (2.6.31.8-0.1-pae i686), with 2 AMD opeteron 2214 HE processors and 4GB (4 x1GB ) of 667 memory. Attached are the output of flashrom -V -c SST49LF080A , superiotool -deV and lspci -nnvvxxx.
Since the forced read does not produce junk, perhaps there is some initialisation error/unknown thing.
Cheers
PHiL

I am about to stick more memory in this machine (so needing a dismantle) and would really like to get rid of the PCI renumbering bug , that flips my Nvidia graphics card(s) from PCI 5:0:0 to PCI 6:0:0 on alternate reboots!!! So init 5 fails......;-(
Workaround: reboot twice.
We are still having inconsistent results. As a summary of mails on the flashrom list about the S2915(-E):
21.10.2009, Alessandro Polverini (r736): No chip found 03.12.2009, Alessandro Polverini (r791+GPIO4): No chip found 19.01.2010, Phil (r710): No chip found 28.01.2010, Allesandro Polverini, other board (r884): Chip found (SST49LF080A) 21.01.2010, Nicolas Aveline (r877;HP board): No chip found 08.12.2009, Joel Robertson (r710): Chip found (SST49LF080A)
We do not have datasheets for the chip set, we can just look what different vendor update hooks do - and they seem to contradict each other.
Alessandro: On your second board the chip was found. Can you please post the output of lspci -nnvvxxx so we can compare to a board where the chip is not found?
