hi can someone confirm that i have the following correct?

 i have an EPIA-M m/board with an SST39SF020A bios chip, along with an RD1-PL 2Mbit bios savour, are these both 2Mb chips? i have tried writing the RD1 with a image file, but it always fails :( anyone any pointers?

have so far tried to write image aprox 8 times, still with no luck :(
this is the output from flashrom :-
Original BIOS
# ./flashrom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Enabling flash write on VT8235...tried to set 0x45 to 0x55 on VT8235 failed (WARNING ONLY)
SST39SF020A found at physical address: 0xfffc0000
Flash part is SST39SF020A
OK, only ENABLING flash write, but NOT FLASHING.

RD1-PL BIOS
# ./flashrom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Enabling flash write on VT8235...OK
W49F002U found at physical address: 0xfffc0000
Flash part is W49F002U
OK, only ENABLING flash write, but NOT FLASHING.


as far as i can tell both are 2M bios, is htere something that prevent writing to the differant chip number properly?

PS. this bios savour worked fine on my EPIA-PD board, always writing corectly first time :(


Many thanks in advance

Matt
