can you yank the FLASH part and try the same game in another machine.
OK, I've used flashrom/biossavior on a Tyan box to get the *actual* contents of the chip (I hope!).
This one is 3 bytes different from the q-flash image (or any of the flashrom images made on the gigabyte board itself):

I didn't notice that change in 0000fd94 in the previous diffs, so it's basically the same phenomenon as with flashrom on the gigabyte machine itself - 3 bytes change between boots.
So.... are flashrom and Q-flash doing the right thing (disabling shadowing), and if so, what's causing those 3 bytes to be different each time?
Thanks, Ward.
