the 4 byte RDID warnings should not matter. the chip you have does not
need it. it is just printed for other chips that are probed for by
flashrom. you can use the -c <chipname> parameter to probe for the
correct chip only. regarding the lockup i can't say much without a log,
but that it should not happen. :) does it reliably happen while probing
for the same chip or is it (seemingly) random? could you also please
define "froze" precisely? is it flashrom alone or the whole OS etc?
