Hi!
First of all, thank You for providing such a great software.
I have problems with flashing bios on my no-name motherboard.
It is propably Saphire or PCPartner (a bit different: http://www.compass.ua/products/view1.asp?code=28915 ) But almost sure it is PP: http://support.pcpartner.com/products/old-intel/DM-262E.htm
Flashrom does recognise chipset, flash chip and read rom but does not write.
I use TinyCore Linux LiveCD (http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/), Flashrom from ubuntu (binary) and current version (compiled).
I hot swap chips but they are same model.
Manual for motherboard found here: http://support.pcpartner.com/support/man/intel/p262.pdf ( http://support.pcpartner.com/support/bios/i845.htm#845e => 845EAS4-262E [DDR]) doeas not provide any information about bios flash protection.
Please help!
Please provide flashrom's verbose output when it is trying to write. With newer versions you can create a log file easily by using the -o parameter. Without the detailed output we can only guess what happens.
Beast regards!
Unicorn wishes! ;)
