Is this still an active email address?
I tried to use flashrom to flash a GA-7N400-L nForce2, but it failed. What's a route back to sanity?
Here is the report from flashrom:
flashrom v0.9.1-r946 No coreboot table found. Found ITE Super I/O, id 8712 Found chipset "NVIDIA NForce2", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB, LPC,FWH) at physical address 0xfffc0000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Verifying flash... VERIFY FAILED at 0x00037e0c! Expected=0x14, Read=0x0c, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0003ffff: 0x15
Dumb me. I should have read the current flash before writing.
I tried running it a 2nd time:

The file I used to set the bios was from an @bios dump of another computer, same motherboard and chipset.
Any help you can offer? Thanks.
