Hi Peter ,
I had checked the original BIOS chip again, it's SST49LF004B,
and the flashrom output:
# ./flashrom
Calibrating delay loop... ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Found chipset "VT8237": Enabling flash write... OK.
Found board "VIA EPIA-CN": Enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512KB) at physical address 0xfff80000
any ideal? Is it possible all the SST49LF008A chips are broken ?
