Hello flashrom people,
here is a quick success report on using flashrom with the MS-7368
(revision 1.0; I don't believe there are any later revisions, but I'm
not sure). The exact flashrom version used was v0.9.1, SVN revision
r721.
In particular, I first upgraded the BIOS from version 1.9 to 1.10 (named
1.A on the MSI website), then downgraded to 1.7 and re-upgraded to 1.8
and finally to 1.10 again, with a reboot following each flashing. I also
played around with a few of the flashrom options and everything worked
flawlessly OOTB.
Some details:
# ./flashrom -r ...

Thanks and kudos,
