bios hung while flashing

Actually, if you want to hot flash (a "not for the faint of heart" method to
recover a bad flash), you'll need to set the BIOS to cacheable in order to
pull the BIOS chip out while it's running.

Hehe... That's why it's advisable NEVER to enable BIOS Cacheable in the
BIOS.

Thank for the feedback. Issue resolved. I had the bios cacheable in
the
bios. Once I disabled it, flashing of the bios work without a problem.
