Hello Steve,

that's ok. It was printed to the standard error output and you only
redirected standard output. You can create log files with the -o

You did not mention what exactly "appeared to go as intended". Your log
only shows that flashrom detects the flash chip correctly, but we are
more interested in successful writes (which the output message does not
point out very clearly). Did you test writing?

Sorry I wasn't clear.  flashrom did successfully overwrite the OEM
AMI BIOS dated 2010/03/24 with the (newest) one dated 2010/05/26.
