[flashrom] DO NOT REBOOT OR POWEROFF (ASUS P5GDC-Delux)

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi Alexander,

we will help you. Please run

flashrom -Vv oldbios.dat

If it says "VERIFIED", everything is OK and you can reboot.

We have to add support for your mainboard. Please check if this is the
P5GDC Deluxe or the P5GDC-V Deluxe or the P5GDC Pro. We also need the
output of
superiotool -deV
lspci -nnvvvxxx

BIOS download is here:
