hello!

hm. you are using the 0.9.4 snapshot without any modifications (apart

this board is supported, but needs the following command line arguments
to work:
flashrom -p internal:boardenable=force -m IBASE:MB899 -w <file>

i am not sure why the autodetection is kinda disabled for this board.
if you could mail us the output of flashrom -V and lspci -xxnnvvv we
might be able to fix this.
