trying to flash the new chip with flashrom fails right now, but i don't know 
why.

here is the output from flashrom, when i try to flash the linuxbios.rom file:
./flashrom -V --mainboard 
gigabyte:m57sli -w /home/hg87/src/linuxbios/buildrom-devel/linuxbios.rom
Calibrating delay loop... 291M loops per second. ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP55": Enabling flash write... OK.
