Hi Ryne,

I am attempting to update the bios of my Tyan 2915 motherboard, but have 
encountered an error
I compiled it myself on a Linux live cd, the file xaa is the first 1MB of the 
latest bios release from Tyan: version 4.01d_beta.

Thanks,

This is the output I get with one -V

I guess we should print a warning that only parts of the chip can be reflashed unless you solder. Unfortunately it is impossible to detect whether someone has soldered the boot block protection line and thus we have to assume that the user already did that.

Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
The easiest way to recover is to locate the old contents (you made a backup, right?) of the chip, and then run 
flashrom -V -w backup.rom

It should not complain, and everything should work fine again.
We have some documentation somewhere on how to reflash the xw9400 completely, but I don't remember exactly where. You can also ask on IRC in #flashrom on irc.freenode.net. A few users in there might remember. Google may find some hits as well. Basically you have to connect two solder pads on that board, and that's it.
