It seems no worries though for rebooting, cause the flashrom -r produces the same rom as before. I hope this helps for developing flashrom!

======================================================================== WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on a laptop. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details. ========================================================================
First: You should have read this warning. It means that flashing laptops is completely at your own risk, no warranties included. Bricking laptops is usually easier than bricking desktops, and on the other hand, recovering laptops is usually more difficult than recovering desktops, as laptops have the flash ROM chip soldered.
In your system, you *might* be lucky in that the embedded controller is not using the main flash chip for storage of its code; on my FSC S7110 I am sure that the EC is independent of the flash chip. Be advicesd that although the numbers are similar, it is a completely different machine, though.
To help getting flashrom support for your laptop (still at your own risk!), please send the output of "flashrom -V" (already done), "lspci -nnvvvxxx" and "superiotool -deV" to this list. Installation instructions for superiotool are at http://www.coreboot.org/Superiotool#Installation
Also include a link to the official BIOS download. No promise can be made that support for your system is possible, but it is quite likely that you just need a board specific write-unprotection function.

Hallo,
Vielen Dank - Ich war mir des Risikos bewusst, habe aber diesen Laptop doppelt, da das eine keinen Display mehr hat, ist es sowieso nur Ersatzteil. Und mit Diesem habe Ich mich dann frei genug empfunden :-) Hardwareteile wären immer noch dran um dem anderen eventuell zu helfen.
But in the attachments the superio and lspci outputs.
cheers, Mikko
