On Asus M2V-MX running 'flashrom -E' fails with the following output:

mail flashrom at flashrom.org!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF!

The first character it is reading is 'A' and is part of the string
'ASUSTEK' in the dump I have.

Nothing was actually erased when I tried this. I've attached the
output of 'flashrom -V', 'lspci -nnvvvxxx', 'superiotool -deV'. The
official BIOS can be downloaded at
