Hello Joel,
I also cannot get flashrom to work, and I have attached the output with the verbose flag. You will note that the correct chip (according to the screenshot) has some timing error.
I am running opensuse 11.2 , and the current bios rev is 1.01.2915 (from dmidecode) .(You can see why I wish to upgrade....!!)
I hope this helps, and if you need me to run some other diags let me know.
Cheers
PHiL
