Help: trouble when flashing rom

[Cyrille Bartholomée]

Dear,

I'm facing this problem when flashing my rom:

flashrom v0.9.2-r1028 on Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (i686), built with libpci 3.0.0, GCC 4.4.4, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... delay loop is unreliable, trying to continue OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH4-M", enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
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... Erasing flash chip... ERASE FAILED at 0x00000008! Expected=0xff, Read=0x00, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x00000fff: 0xfc5
ERASE FAILED!
ERASE FAILED at 0x00000008! Expected=0xff, Read=0x00, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0000ffff: 0xfadb

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!

Can you:
- try a newer release (or build the latest developemt code yourself
http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads#Installation_from_source)
- mention the exact name of your board (including revision, if there
are multiple revisions)
- attach the output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool
-deV' (run all commands as root)

Thanks in advance,
Idwer

if possible please try a newer version and provide us a verbose log
(-V parameter). either 0.9.3 or even better compile the svn version from
source: http://flashrom.org/Downloads
