hello and thanks for your report.

this is another case of a locked Management Engine (ME) region, which
we can't unlock yet.
i have added the P8B-E/4L to our list of boards with a note about the
problem for now and will commit that later.

FlashRom and Intel C204 chipset.

[Andrey V. Bondarenko]

Hello,

I downloaded flashrom-0.9.5.2.tar.bz2. The flashrom does not compile. I
think the problem is in SPI of kernel CentOS 5, the log of compilation is
below. The kernel is 2.6.18-274.18.1.el5. I didn't find the file
linux/spi/spidev.h. How can I compile flashrom without SPI?

Log:

Target arch is x86
Target OS is Linux
Checking for libpci headers... found.
Checking if libpci is present and sufficient... yes.

P.S. Was the problem solved with Asus P8B-E/4 (see email in end)?

Thank you.
