hi

from my very limited experience i think the chipset usually works just
fine. in this case flashrom does not detect the flash chip. this can
mean two things:
 - either we have to toggle an IO pin of the chipset (dependent on the
   mainboard) to enable the chip at all, or
 - the chip is not supported yet.

most probably you just need a board enable
(http://flashrom.org/Board_Enable) due to the first option.

can you please confirm that this is you board
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K9N6PGM2-V.html#/?div=BIOS
please also provide the output of lspci -xxxnnvv (run as root).
creating the board enable can take days to months dependent on the
motivation of our volunteers.
