> To summarize:
>
> Proprietary BIOS:
> * Erasing the chip was tested, reading from the chip gives you all 0xFFs
> after erase.
> * Writing the chip after erase was tested, verify successful.
correct
>
> LinuxBIOS:
> * Erasing the chip fails, only a few bytes are changed (if any).
> * Writing fails as well because erase failed.
correct

> I need the exact LinuxBIOS revision you are using and superiotool dumps
> under proprietary BIOS and LinuxBIOS. I have a suspicion about the cause

> Please state your exact board revision as well.
