The board has an IPMI controller which may cause all sorts of screwups. Greg, Colin, can you get a sharp high-res photo of the region of the board where the flash chip is located and upload that to imageshack or some other service? I want to be 100% sure that we're not dealing with a situation where two flash chips are present, and the IPMI controller switches between chips to confuse flashrom to no end. > Am Mittwoch, den 21.07.2010, 22:19 -0400 schrieb Colin Williams >> and it now reports the chip as a "SST unknown SST SPI chip", with all >> four operations not working.

Once we have the output of the commands above, we have a good chance to find a way to whack the chip on the head so that it will respond normally again.
