That doesn't mean anything. The lines where something was "found" are, sorted by size:

| Probing for Intel 82802AB, 512 KB: probe_82802ab: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for SST SST49LF004A/B, 512 KB: probe_jedec_common: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for SST SST49LF004C, 512 KB: probe_82802ab: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for ST M50FLW040A, 512 KB: probe_82802ab: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for ST M50FLW040B, 512 KB: probe_82802ab: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for ST M50FW040, 512 KB: probe_82802ab: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for Winbond W39V040FA, 512 KB: probe_jedec_common: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content | Probing for Winbond W39V080FA (dual mode), 512 KB: probe_jedec_common: id1 0x4e, id2 0x41, id1 parity violation, id1 is normal flash content, id2 is normal flash content "Probing" on FWH/Parallel/LPC chips (having a memory-mapped interface) works by writing magic bytes to magic addresses, and magically reading ID bytes from the flash chip instead of standard flash data. If the chip can not be probed the way flashrom is trying, it still returns the same old flash memory contents as it always does. The probes I quoted also detect the condition "... is normal flash content". What I can tell you is that at offset 0x180000 of your 2MB flash chip the first two bytes are 4e and 41.
