Flash failed on ASUS P4C-800E Deluxe

[Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi,

I was just trying to flash the BIOS (version 1023) into an old ASUS
P4C-800E Deluxe on ArchLinux (current updates as of 13-11-2009) and
the latest version of flashrom from SVN. I get the following error:

[root@bart flashrom]# flashrom -w

I would like to add, despite the output of flashrom, the BIOS seems
still in a consistent state. The computer survived the reboot, so I
guess flashrom didn't change the ROM at all. I provide more output
here.

more information:
