[flashrom] Flash chip/chipset not found

[Rowlinson Mark]

Hi Carl-Daniel,

That change does allow the chipset to be recognised and it will write out the ROM.  It seems to be the BIOS code only (no settings) as it doesn't change if I change any settings within the BIOS.

I've been directed to a save/restore utility that comes on the BIOS update image and it seems the last version actually accesses the data I'm interested in so I'm investigating this route at the moment. 

Best Regards,
Mark Rowlinson

Hi Mark,

this is a VIA VT8251 PCI to ISA Bridge you're using.

I think Stefan Tauner (in CC) already was discussing something similar here:

That email even has a patch attached.

Heh, would be fun to add this to our tests.
