Hello. I need help. Sorry for my English. I used utility flashrom. I downloaded binary file with BIOS from www.asus.com, unpacked, and runned flashrom.
My motherboard is ASUS P5GDC-Delux. My OS is Linux: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid $ uname -a Linux stas-desktop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
When I runed flashrum, I see following output:
$ flashrom -w P5GDC-ASUS-DELUXE-1012.002.rom flashrom v0.9.1-r946 ERROR: Could not get I/O privileges (Operation not permitted).

Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom@flashrom.org! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!
Befor bios updating, I backuped old bios by command:
$ sudo flashrom -r oldbios.dat flashrom v0.9.1-r946 No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel ICH6/ICH6R", enabling flash write... OK. This chipset supports the following protocols: FWH. Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000. Reading flash... done.
And after unhappy update I attempted restore old bios by command: $ sudo flashrom -w oldbios.dat flashrom v0.9.1-r946 No coreboot table found.

Hi Alexander,
we will help you. Please run
flashrom -Vv oldbios.dat
If it says "VERIFIED", everything is OK and you can reboot.
We have to add support for your mainboard. Please check if this is the P5GDC Deluxe or the P5GDC-V Deluxe or the P5GDC Pro. We also need the output of superiotool -deV lspci -nnvvvxxx
BIOS download is here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5GDC%20Deluxe/P5GDCDELUXE1012...

Hello Carl-Daniel, Thank You very much!
I runned flashrom -Vv oldbios.dat and it say "VERIFIED". (full output placing in attach)
My mainboard is ASUS P5GDC Delux.
About mainboard. On board writed: "ASUS P5GDC", like this: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=AbeoopyNpI2TZixg In CMOS message writed: "ASUS P5GDC-DELUXE".
Apeearance it look like: AUSS P5GDC Delux (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=AbeoopyNpI2TZixg) and like: ASUS P5GDC-V Delux (http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=JRsYCkkzvo4pVF3i)
Difference: my mainboard haven't Integrated Video and have Multi Language Support in BIOS.
So, more likely to win: ASUS P5GDC Delux. =)
Output of lspci and superiotool placing in attach.
Yes, I downloaded BIOS from this URL: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5GDC%20Deluxe/P5GDCDELUXE1012...
Thank you! :]
