Dear Sirs,
I realised that I have to type the full path to the flashrom located in /home/guy/flashrom-0.1.9-r792. Before I assumed that the flashrom in the current directory would be executed, This assumption is wrong. guy@asus-p4b:~/flashrom-0.9.1-r792$ sudo /home/guy/flashrom-0.9.1-r792/flashrom -r 1008.bin flashrom v0.9.1-r792 No coreboot table found.
