Hey! sorry to bother you, i really try to help myself out, but in this case i lack any knowledge of the details of bios memory management. I have tried to flash the bios on my k8n Neo4 Platinum pcb v 1.0, the write started giving errors, output follows...
flashrom v0.9.2-r1141 on Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (i686), built with libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5 20100728 (prerelease), 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 "NVIDIA CK804", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI. Disabling flash write protection for board "MSI K8N Neo4-F"... OK. Found chip "PMC Pm49FL004" (512 KB, LPC,FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Writing flash chip... Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS. Programming page: address: 0x00040000 writing sector at 0xb744d000 failed!
