This means that your specific flash part is not supported by flash_rom.
We'll need to know what kind of flash part your mainboard uses so that
we can add support for it. To get this information, please refer to the

Is there a way to save those images of the flash chips somewhere on
openbios.org? The images are a great idea, but I'm not sure if
hotlinking to other sites is a good idea. I suppose if someone bitches
or they take the image down, the wiki can be changed easily as well.

I recall having a similar problem, though mine was with an Intel NIC
instead. A kernel update to 2.6.x seemed to fix it. You might want to
try a 2.6 kernel to see if that is the case with your NIC as well. If
so, then perhaps the newest Realtek driver can be back ported to your
2.4.28 kernel.

I don't think anyone's done an nForce2 port for LinuxBIOS. The nForce4
on the other hand might be different, you would have to ask Dr. Lu @
