Hi,

as suggested on IRC, I am sending here information about a motherboard
with bios that cannot be atm flashed with flashrom.

Motherboard manufacturer: Gigabyte
Motherboard model: ga-k8n51gmf-9
Motherboard rev: not specified

BIOS update URI:
http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/BIOS/motherboard_bios_ga-k8n51gmf-9(rh)...

Output of flashrom -w n51gmf9.f8:

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 0x00000000! Expected=0xff,
Read=0x24, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0000ffff: 0xfefa
ERASE FAILED!
ERASE FAILED!

Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net channel #flashrom or
mail [e-mail]

DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!

I have attached output of commands as suggested on the IRC channel.

Thanks for the patch and thanks for testing. Committed in r1154 (I added
