I don't think I am in any jeopardy, but I need to make sure, because an attempted flashrom write failed. In addition, I would like to get it to work, because it as been recommended I upgrade the BIOS due to issues in lm-sensors. When I attempted to upgrade the BIOS, I got this error:
RAID-Server:/RAID/Server-Main/Downloads/Asus Motherboards/M5A99X EVO R2.0# flashrom -w M5A99X-EVO-R20-ASUS-1302.CAP flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (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. Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750/SB850". Enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC, FWH, SPI. Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64" (8192 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xff800000. Error: Image size doesn't match
I then verified the flash image against the backup image and it apparently passed:

Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64" (8192 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xff800000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks. Reading old flash chip contents... done. Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
Am I in jeopardy, here? How can I get flashrom to properly write the new BIOS?
