Hi, All

I have a problem on programming BIOS Savior. I just got a BIOS Savior
PMC4, and the flash embedded in it is Pm49FL004. My motherboard is
DK8-HTX and I have read the original BIOS by flashrom into a file. I
want to program it into BIOS Savior but the verification process
always failed (more than 10 times). I search on our forum and find
that it maybe a little difficult to program BIOS Savior succefully. Is
it true? Is it because of the support of Pm49FL004 flash by flashrom?
And is there anything else I can do for it? Thanks very much!

The error information about flashrom is as following:

when programming
[ning at localhost linuxbios]$ sudo flashrom -c Pm49FL004 -V -w orig.rom
