Hello Mariusz,
i am not very familiar with the chipset, so i cant really help by fixing the problem. It seems that the addressing is somehow broken: I know that because erase and write succeeds. It does only succeed, if it can verify the contents of every block it wrote to be correct. After the whole process it does read the whole chip again and checks if it equals the image. Now if the addressing of the blocks wraps somewhere then the erase/write code will overwrite some blocks without noticing it (the block itself looks correct to it), but verification will fail at the end. Someone will have to look at it later. They will probably want to look at least at a verbose log, so please post the output of flashrom -V (and additionally maybe even with -VVV). The output of lspci -nnvvxxx (run as root) may also be useful.
To get your board back to a consistent state, you could try flashing the backup you made with the -r/--read option (you DID make a backup, right?). But i fear it may also fail... in that case or if you do not have a backup please join IRC and most importantly: DO NOT REBOOT OR POWER OFF! We really mean it.
:( and now I have to pay for the reprogramming of bone BIOS. Restored back however, and so does not work.
