I successfully flashed to BIOS version 0502 (the previous one was 
Crosshair IV Extreme 0243 BIOS). Please, see the ASUS download page for 
details, here are the BIOSes:

# flashrom -w CrosshairIV-Extreme-ASUS-0502.ROM
flashrom v0.9.4-r1395 on Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (x86_64), built with 
libpci 3.1.7, GCC 4.4.5, little endian
flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chipset "AMD SB700/SB710/SB750/SB850". Enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: LPC, FWH, SPI.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q16" (2048 kB, SPI) at physical address 
0xffe00000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling coreboot-related checks.
Reading old flash chip contents... done.
Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.


I tried writing again after erasing, this just works :)
You can add the board to the list I think ;)

Thanks Stefan and Paul for your advice, I will contact the coreboot list 
later.
