MainBoard: MSI K9N Neo V2 (K9N Neo-F V2) flashrom v0.9.4-r1395
I have the same board, and I flashed it successfully with v0.9.3-r1370 about a month ago (-> BIOS v2.9).
After booting it first seemed to have gone wrong: early in the boot phase the BIOS rebooted, and I was in an endless loop. I couldn't go into the setup, and I couldn't even read the error message. So I recorded a film with my mobile's cam, and wanted to watch it in slow motion to decipher the message. But in the meantime the BIOS had stopped rebooting and showed a prompt. Unfortunately I didn't note down the text, but after confirming everything went fine.
I guess I should have: - reset my BIOS to factory default/"optimal" settings before flashing (Maybe some of the custom settings didn't work well with the new BIOS? Though one would assume that they get reset anyway.) - gone into single-user mode for flashing, with as few apps running as possible (some of them froze, and KDE decided to forget some of my settings)
But again, apart from this little adventure everything worked fine.
