<span></span></blockquote><span>--<br>I have a 2.5 year Old Desktop PC with Asus P5GC-MX/1333 Motherboard(Intel 945GC Chipset).Asus website verifies this Motherboard By asking to Check the Motherboard Physically(on the Centre) to Read &quot;Version 3.xx&quot; For P5GC-MX/1333 Board.There is another board <b>P5GC-MX</b>  which may not be confused with <b>P5GC-MX/1333</b>.<br>

The Version of BIOS was 0312 Which was pretty old.the latest Version is 0413 to which I successfully Updated.<br>BIOS Source:<br><a href="http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us" target="_blank">http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us</a><br>

<br>My PC&#39;s MAC Address has changed after the flashing Procedure ,resulting in renaming of eth0 to eth1 .This warning was also shown:<br><br>Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.<br>Writing flash chip... Erasing flash before programming... Erasing flash chip... <b>spi_block_erase_20 failed during command execution at address 0x0</b><br>

but ,showed:<br></span><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">SUCCESS.<br><br>done.<br><br>Programming page:<br><br>COMPLETE.<br><br>

Verifying flash... VERIFIED.<br></blockquote><span><br>Apart from that Flashing Procedure went fine.<br><br>Since there are few other BIOS releases between 0312 and 0413 ,I have updated to intermediate version(0317) ,later on to Update to 0413(and I think this step is not really needed).<br>

Flashrom Version in Debian Repo is not the latest.So ,I built a debian package for My use to get latest version</span><span><b>0.9.2-r1043 .</b></span><br><span>--<br>Here are the Outputs, Logs of the Flashing Procedure ,Hoping this Motherboard Enters the supported list.<br>
