Looking at the error message, I'm pretty sure that you can reboot
safely. It seems the erase command had no effect.
Newer flashrom versions support the Asus P4P800-E Deluxe, and it should
be possible to add support for your board as well. Could you please
update to flashrom 0.9.1-r946 (or later) run the following commands as
root and send the output to flashrom at flashrom.org

lspci -nnvvvxxx
superiotool -deV
flashrom -V

This would help us to find out if flashrom needs to be patched to
support your board.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
