Re: [flashrom] DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF (ASUS P5GDC-Delux)

[Alexander Mikhnovets]

Hello Carl-Daniel,
Thank You very much!

I runned flashrom -Vv oldbios.dat and it say "VERIFIED". (full output
placing in attach)

My mainboard is ASUS P5GDC Delux.

About mainboard.
On board writed: "ASUS P5GDC", like this:
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=AbeoopyNpI2TZixg
In CMOS message writed: "ASUS P5GDC-DELUXE".

Apeearance it look like:
AUSS P5GDC Delux (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=AbeoopyNpI2TZixg)
and like:
ASUS P5GDC-V Delux (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=JRsYCkkzvo4pVF3i)

Difference: my mainboard haven't Integrated Video and have Multi
Language Support in BIOS.

So, more likely to win: ASUS P5GDC Delux. =)

Output of lspci and superiotool placing in attach.

Yes, I downloaded BIOS from this URL:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5GDC%20Deluxe/P5GDCDELUXE1012...

Thank you! :]
