Hi,

I tried to flash an A7N8X-VM400 board with the current bios (got it with flashrom -r). The current bios rom was of identical size as the downloaded newer bios rom. I figured it would be safest to try to flash with the old one :)

The information below is copied from the terminal:

svante@stereo:~$ sudo flashrom -wV current_A7NVM400-ASUS.080009.rom
flashrom v0.9.1-r946
No coreboot table found.
DMI string system-manufacturer: "Ssystem manufacturer"

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... 567M loops per second, 100 myus = 202 us. OK.
