Success report,

The reboot was ok, i loaded the default bios options, there was an automatic DMI update or something like that.
My mac address changed, but i don't care, it's still driven by forcedeth, i updated udev to rename it to eth0, so it's cool.
My bios is downgraded, so the error i wanted to correct in the first place (don't halt when HW supports dual channel 800Mhz ddr) is gone.
Please consider my motherboard supported :).
Thanks a lot,
Balint

If i overwrite my ethernet address, is that the MAC address?
How can i revert it after a bios upgrade with flashrom?

Yes.  If you notice it's changed when you first boot into your new
BIOS (via `ifconfig' or something else) you will probably want to
flash the old BIOS.  You can simply `flashrom -Vw oldbios.rom' -
although please note that you may have to clear the CMOS, where the
BIOS stores settings.  You know you will have to do this if after
downgrading, the computer fails to successfully boot.  This happened
to me a bit ago.  Basically you turn the computer off, unplug it, find
the battery on the motherboard and remove it for about a minute.  Put
it back in, turn it on, and then you may want to set the clock in the
BIOS to the correct time, and any other settings you previously set.


What version of flashrom against is this patch generated?
Is it 0.9.2?

SVN.  There are instructions here: http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads

Let me know if you have any more questions.
