this was fixed by retry (or so :), see below for the log of the IRC conversation. * cupantae (~mark@*) has joined #flashrom <cupantae> I tried to update my bios but now even the writing the backup gives an error. What can I do? <cupantae> I have emailed flashrom(a)flashrom.org with the report <idwer> first thing to not do is reboot, second thing is to upload the whole output to http://paste.flashrom.org <cupantae> ok. done <cupantae> i'm not sure if this is helpful, but at the "VERIFY FAILED", it gave a different reason each time <cupantae> first it was at 0x000acd00! Expected=0x23, Read=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x000fffff: 0xfe <cupantae> then at 0x00029400! Expected=0x12, Read=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x000fffff: 0x1fc <cupantae> then at 0x00067700! Expected=0x2f, Read=0xff, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x000fffff: 0x4ea <cupantae> oh wait, but always 0xff <agaran> what machine it is <cupantae> it's there in http://paste.flashrom.org <cupantae> it's a geforce6100pm-m2 <agaran> video card? <cupantae> no that's the name of the motherboard <cupantae> named after the onboard graphics, it would seem <agaran> hmm, i never tried upgrading bios on such combo board, but if on internal programmer you get changing reads its *WEIRD* <agaran> cupantae: can you dump few times actual flash content to new file each time (and not overwriting first backup), then calc md5 over those and show us? <cupantae> you mean with flashrom -r? <agaran> yes <cupantae> ok <agaran> but please do not overwrite backup <cupantae> ok. i'm starting "dump1" <cupantae> without flashing the rom in between, the md5 stayed the same <cupantae> 625ad915d91e7b134b48aef0105a640b <cupantae> currently flashing again with the updated version of the bios <agaran> so it fails on write but in different things <agaran> so now it worked? <cupantae> well, attempting to flash, i suppose i should say <agaran> ok, so verification now against backup passes? <cupantae> oh my god, it verified this time <cupantae> i didn't change anything, so is it reasonable to be nervous about rebooting? <agaran> so if you did backup and assuming read is always correct then i should its quite safe <agaran> but still i would be somewhat uncertain why it failed at different addresses each time on verify <cupantae> it does seem strange. that said, i'm not at all familiar with this stuff :-) <agaran> it is strange <cupantae> the output is the same before the verifying stage, btw <cupantae> between the working and failing attempts <cupantae> anyway, i suppose i don't need your help any more! thanks for your time <cupantae> so will i reboot and tell you if it worked? * cupantae has quit (Quit: rebooting) * cupantae (~mark@*) has joined #flashrom <cupantae> agaran: back on post-reboot. <cupantae> seems like a fairly shitty "upgrade" but what harm :-P <cupantae> thanks for all the support! * cupantae has quit (Client Quit) -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

It's also 50.0 % identical to file asusbios.bin' instead of something along the lines of 'verification failed, file is corrupt'. Above example would also require a way to reference a 2nd file to verify against. Let's say that 2nd file is an internet-downloaded original motherboard vendor's BIOS instead of a flashrom dumped file. After all, people might want to check if flashrom works correctly before writing anything. What better way than dump current bios, compare dumped file to bios but also compare to vendor bios file. All 3 should be (near-)identical.

I have marked the chipset as OK and added the ECS P4VXMS (V1.0A) to the list of supported boards.

My first question...
by Jorge Fernandez Monteagudo 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, I'm using flashrom to save the bios from my system to a file. I've seen an unexpected behaviour and I would like to know if it's ok. If I run: # flashrom --read bios_1st.bin # flashrom --read bios_2nd.bin comparing both files I can't find any difference, but If I reboot the system and then: # flashrom --read bios_3rd.bin I get differences with the previous one. I haven't enter in the bios or change anything... I was expecting no differences between them. Am I missing anything?
