[flashrom] Problems with flashrom

[Benjamin Z. Gregorian]

Hi Guys
I run into trouble using flashrom.
first I downloaded the ROM to flash
then I downloaded flashrom
and run the following command
----------
   sudo flashrom
----------  Result:
   flashrom v0.9.1-r946
   No coreboot table found.
   Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R", enabling flash write... OK.
   This chipset supports the following protocols: FWH.
   Calibrating delay loop... OK.
   Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 
0xfff80000.
   No operations were specified.
--------- 
I assumed that flashrom can burn my BIOS (since there was no warning given)
Then I tried
---------
   sudo flashrom -wv Desktop/Downloads/P5LD2-2002.ROM 
---------
Result was that two opperations are not permittet or so
After studying the man page I ran the following command
---------
    sudo flashrom -w Desktop/Downloads/P5LD2-2002.ROM 
 ---------
 and got panic!!!!!!!

   Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.

   Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
