[flashrom] Trying to flash Bios on MS-6728

[David Borg]

 Hi Manuel,

 Thanks for your logs.

 Flashrom version 0.9.1-r946 is pretty outdated though, could you try
 again with latest sources? Instructions here:
 http://flashrom.org/Downloads

 In the latest flashrom directory, do the following:

 1)  Make a new backup of the partly over-written bios
         ./flashrom -Vr newBiosDump.bin

 2)  Try writing new BIOS
         flashrom  -Vw /path/to/bios/update/file

 If it still doesn't work (which it probably won't), could you please
 post the output of step 2 and the _ORIGINAL_ BIOS image you read using
 the old flashrom to http://paste.flashrom.org/
 In the "Board name" field fill in the exact and _full_ name as printed
 with white letters on the motherboard.

 Note: Also ensure that the BIOS update file is valid, as i couldn't
 find a valid file from the MSI site.

 Thanks!

 Regards,

 David
