Hello,
I have an ASUS P5LD2-VM, and I try to update bios, first with flashrom v0.9.2-r1028 ( http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=489 ) then with 0.9.3 ( http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=490 also, the ROM is at http://paste.flashrom.org/uploads/491.bin ) but:
Writing flash chip... Erasing flash chip... Looking at blockwise erase function 0... trying... 0x000000-0x000fff, 0x001000-0x001fff, 0x002000-0x002fff, 0x003000-0xff, 0x004000-0x004fff, 0x005000-0x005fff, ERASE FAILED at 0x00005760!

It looks like the PCI IDs in the patch attached to this message can be used for your board too: http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-October/005106.html
Can you try the attached patch ? Apply to svn code, r1288, with "patch -p0< /path/to/board_enable_asus_p5ld2-vm.diff", recompile and try writing with the patched binary: "./flashrom -w /path/to/P5LD2-VM-1401.ROM". After you have done that, please report back here.
Hi Idwer,
I'm sorry but I remove the motherboard from my PC (I make a hardware upgrade, before this, I want to update BIOS because, from beginning, the motherboard was a problem with processor).
If/when I find a chassis to mount and test (or when I have some time to remount on my system), I will send you the results.
One more time, thank you for your great tool, Emil "carco" Sirbu
