By the way,
After the upgrade the LAN stopped working.
Hi Amr,
you've posted a read log in both normal and verbose modes. Unfortunately 
not the write log, but all bits help.
Did you write a different BIOS to EEPROM? Or simply wrote "bios.old" to 
EEPROM? Did your network card/chip stop working directly (in Linux?) 
after writing this BIOS? Or after reboot?
I guess the network chip's hardware address (MAC-address) changed or was 
erased due to the firmware flashing, instead of being kept intact? I 
don't know if Flashrom can recognise and/or handle MAC-addresses in a 
safe way.

Reading flash... done.
