This log indicates that nothing was changed and it is safe to reboot. If
you want to be 100% safe and if you made a backup before, please run
flashrom -V backup.rom
If that says "verified", everything is guaranteed to be OK.

We need to add support for your mainboard. Please update to latest
flashrom and send the output (as root) from

lspci -nnvvvxxx
superiotool -deV
flashrom -V

to this mailing list together with your exact mainboard name (including
version), and please upload your current BIOS image to
http://paste.flashrom.org/

Thanks.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
