Hello,

I received the following while trying to use flashrom to install an
updated bios.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I have an ASUS M2NBP-VM CSM motherboard.


        desktop2@Desktop2:~/Downloads$ sudo flashrom -w 1101.BIN
        flashrom v0.9.1-r946
        No coreboot table found.
        Found ITE Super I/O, id 8716
        Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP51", enabling flash write... OK.
        This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
        Disabling flash write protection for board "ASUS M2NBP-VM
        CSM"... OK.
        Calibrating delay loop... OK.
        Found chip "SST SST49LF040B" (512 KB, LPC) at physical address
        0xfff80000.

        This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ
        ERASE WRITE
        Please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the
        above operations
        work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the
        flashrom
        output with the additional -V option for all operations you
        tested (-V, -rV,
        -wV, -EV), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
        Thanks for your help!

        Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
