Hello Roy,

thanks for your report! I am collecting some facts about existing cards
in our wiki: http://flashrom.org/VT6421A
I have added the ones I know about your card and would like to add the
remaining ones...

I am not entirely sure what happens there. Obviously pcidev_readbar
reads 0... but we are not using that anyway and don't abort in that
case AFAICS. There has been some discussion about refactor these parts
and that would at least get rid of that message. I'll have to
investigate and discuss this with my colleagues.
What happens after that? flashrom exits?
Can you please add -VVV to the command line and resend the resulting
log?
