I suspect I just bricked my notebook. I tried to flash it with a BIOS image I exchanged some device IDs in. It failed with the subject error and I tried to flash again with the backup, which failed in the same manner (needless to say I dare not reboot at the moment).
Attached are the error output and the dmidecode output. I can also supply the BIOS images to you.

We already discussed this issue in the IRC channel. The system is write-protected and/or the Intel SPI driver failed, so nothing at all happened. As flashrom checks for successfull erase before trying to write the backup, even writing the backup failed, as erasing was not successfull in the first place.

Thanks again for the quick response on IRC. In a fit of panic I wrote the mail before checking there.
