The flashrom version from trunk did the trick ;)
Actually, it looks like support for your board was added eight monts ago: http://flashrom.org/trac/flashrom/changeset/1133
I have attached the log. Thanks for help! Have a nice day. 2011/4/1 Idwer Vollering vidwer@gmail.com
Please keep flashrom@flashrom.org in the "To:"-field, or in cc. Thanks.

Hi!
Hi.
I have tried to flash my BIOS without success. BIOS flash reading is ok, but writing does'nt work. Here is the commands output:
$ flashrom -Vw 75i65G_3.30 flashrom v0.9.2-r1028 on Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (x86_64), built with libpci
Can you retry writing with the latest development code ?
See http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads#Installation_from_source for instructions.
The results are different, but at this time I got only warning: flashrom v0.9.3-r1205 on Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (x86_64), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5, little endian flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH5/ICH5R", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: FWH. Disabling flash write protection for board "ASRock 775i65G"... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found.
Fooled you :) No really, this is strange because it found a flash device earlier.
Can you try the code from subversion ? $ svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom $ cd flashrom $ make $ sudo ./flashrom -Vw /path/to/75i65G_3.30
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.

Yep.

DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!
Big fat warning but you have kept it cool :)
I have checked the BIOS content and compared with backup - they are identical, so I have reboot the PC without any problems.
Okay, can you hit reply-to-all and attach the output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV' (run all commands as root) ?
I have attached them.
Have a nice day and watch out for the tricks on April fools' day )
