This looks like nothing changed.

Did you create a backup with "flashrom -r backup.rom" before you started
to write? If yes, please run
flashrom -Vv backup.rom
If it says "VERIFIED", nothing was changed and it is safe to reboot.
If it complains, we will help you recover.

It looks like we need a board enable for your board. BIOS update can be
downloaded at
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/BIOS/motherboard_bios_6iem_f7.exe

Please upgrade to latest flashrom from svn and reply with the output from
flashrom -V
superiotool -deV
lspci -nnvvvxxx
Please run all commands as root.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
