EZ flash is most likely the problem with the flash..not the bios. It is more likely to fail from windows or other types of flashes than from dos with the proper tools. In this case AFUDOS is the proper way to flash.. Its always a chance we take.........
Yep..the driver thing is probably 64..do you have any softmods or bootloaders installed..have you ever? I'll check the bios again...
It is calling the slic from another address..I dont know where.. I think it would be a ton easier with acpiscope file..anyway..maybe someone else can figure it out, or just use the fc mod..I dont know how to do that Maybe just cool down and take a fresh look later..Put the link to the asus bios back up and see if another has a better go of it...can't say we didn't try
