can someone please help me understand this from the output: No coreboot table found. sh: dmidecode: command not found dmidecode execution unsucessfull - continuing without DMI info Found ITE Super I/O, id 8705 Found chipset "SiS 735", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
i provide as requested on irc attachments of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV', exact name board: EliteGroup K7S5A, link to bios update: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?CategoryID=1&am...

Please try a later version of flashrom (at least r1073).
Autodetection of super i/o chip ITE IT8705F has been added and I think your board will work with an unmodified (newer) flashrom.
See intructions for getting the latest SVN version here:
Please also tell us which variant of the ECS K7S5A mainboard you have. According to the ECS website there are five:
- K7S5A (v1.1) - K7S5A2 (v1.0A) - K75SA (v3.1) - K75SA Pro (v5.0) - K75SA (v3.1B)
