It is an older Version
-V seems to have no effect
chipset cs5530
flash part is W29C020C
Verify fails, write seems done right read also. But I have get corrupted
files
"uniflash" works fine for me, but I will test the latest flashrom from
svn and see what happens.

Yes it starts with 55aa and there is a text like:
IBM Compatiple PCI VGA/SVGA Vesa Bios V1.0

Well, ok not really hard. Not all is readonly, but the main system runs
out of the RAM and at the moment I use a kernel where is serial output
disabled ;)
I have piped the output to a file, which is very large and I think it is
not useful to attach the whole file. Also this try seems successfuller,
because of the screen goes black and sometimes it flickers.
<ctrl>c stops testbios normaly.
I only post the interesting parts.
What config Options should I use, if I want LB starts with this Bios.
CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA
CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN
CONFIG_LEGACY_BIOS
....
