Alright, looking just at the possible flashing issue for the moment, if you flash the original bios (to your spare chip) does it work correctly? And please remind me, what board and flash part are you using? Epia? Also, what does flashrom do?
I've a commell lv671 board with W39V040FA bios chip and Winbound w83627hf-aw super-io chip.
If I burn the factory bios the page count increase from 0001 to 0007 and takes about 20 seconds/page:

W39V040FA found at physical address: 0xfff80000 Flash part is W39V040FA (512 KB) Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.

the same with linuxbios, but the burning takes about 10 seconds for the whole burn:
