Hi,
I was just trying to flash the BIOS (version 1023) into an old ASUS P4C-800E Deluxe on ArchLinux (current updates as of 13-11-2009) and the latest version of flashrom from SVN. I get the following error:
[root@bart flashrom]# flashrom -w Display all 101 possibilities? (y or n) [root@bart flashrom]# flashrom w P4CED23.ROM -bash: flashrom: command not found [root@bart flashrom]# ./flashrom -w P4CED23.ROM flashrom v0.9.1-r756 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH5/ICH5R", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Writing flash chip... ERASE FAILED at 0x000038d0!

Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom@flashrom.org! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF! [root@bart flashrom]#
Any hints?
