Hello,
I am rying to update the BIOS on my 10-yr-old laptop. Per the output of the flashrom command, I am including the output I received:
[root@Dilbert ~]# flashrom -p internal -V flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.8.18-350.vanilla.knurd.1.fc33.x86_64 (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
flashrom was built with libpci 3.6.4, GCC 10.2.1 20201125 (Red Hat 10.2.1-9), little endian Command line (3 args): flashrom -p internal -V Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

If you are using an up-to-date version of flashrom *and* were (not) able to successfully update your firmware with it, then please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org including a verbose (-V) log. Thank you! Enabling flash write... Root Complex Register Block address = 0xfed1c000 Error accessing ICH RCRB, 0x4000 bytes at 0x00000000fed1c000 /dev/mem mmap failed: Operation not permitted FAILED!

Can you help? Can I use this utility to flash my BIOS (I have the BIOS file from MSI)?
