If you have a backup of your old BIOS contents (created with flashrom -r), please run 'flashrom -v oldbackup.bin' and if it says 'VERIFIED' nothing changed and it should be safe to reboot. Please mail the output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV' (all commands as root), the exact name of your board (including revision, if there are multiple revisions), and a link to the official BIOS download to this mailing list. It looks like your BIOS is an AMI bios. Please send privately to me ([email protected]) the file created by dd if=/dev/mem bs=64k count=1 skip=15 of=fseg.bin to let me analyze it to find out what code your board needs to enable write access to the flash chip.
