Is this still an active email address?
I tried to use flashrom to flash a GA-7N400-L nForce2, but it failed.
What's a route back to sanity?
Here is the report from flashrom:
flashrom v0.9.1-r946
No coreboot table found.
Found ITE Super I/O, id 8712
Found chipset "NVIDIA NForce2", enabling flash write... OK.
This chipset supports the following protocols: Non-SPI.
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "PMC Pm49FL002" (256 KB, LPC,FWH) at physical address 0xfffc0000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Verifying flash... VERIFY FAILED at 0x00037e0c! Expected=0x14, Read=0x0c,
failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x0003ffff: 0x15
Dumb me. I should have read the current flash before writing.
I tried running it a 2nd time:

Your flash chip is in an unknown state.
Get help on IRC at irc.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail flashrom at flashrom.org!
The file I used to set the bios was from an @bios dump of another computer,
same motherboard and chipset.
Any help you can offer?
Thanks.
