So far, I could recover one of the chips in another node (PLCC32 socket). I booted normally, then hot-swapped in the failed chip and was quite happy when a read succeeded using a newly installed  flashrom v0.9.3-r1299 (from Fedora EPEL).  Re-flash then succeeded for this chip as well. I could not find a significant difference between the nodes that succeeded and those that did not. They started with the same BIOS, but the CMOS may have differed. I then continued with flashrom v0.9.3-r1299 for more nodes and did not have a failure so far (ran on 8 nodes).

since none failed with the newer version, i think it is safe to declare
it as working until further notice.

wow, that's ancient! :)

i would like to mark your board as supported. the dmi data indicates
that is a this board:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBT.cfm
there are similar boards which may have the same signature, especially
this one:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBT-INF.cfm

can you please state the exact model of the board(s) you have tested?

i have marked it as fully tested now.

i have also changed the format of this messages to use 32 bits/8
characters.
