Why did I already know this?

First, be happy that you got a good message, better than a crashed BIOS.

There maybe several reasons:

a) Model Number is wrong
b) Revision Number is wrong (1.0/1.1 / 1.6 / 1.7)
c) >That is the way I updated my original BIOS F2u to FI with QFlasch and >without options. It run trouble-free.
I found no version F2 or F2u. The revisions 1.6/1.7 may have same number but different versions. (maybe your answer is correct, for one of my Gigabyte machines they offered three different versions F18 with different time stamps - one after the other).
d) I think you should try FK
e) I have a Dell Laptop Latitude D531 where it was not possible to run an update to the latest published BIOS version (forgot if it was A12 or A13). The BIOS update was bad and refused to install.
There were several bug reports about this in Internet. The DELL robot asked me a lot of things - and at the end it said that support time has expired. Thanks. Finish.

Added:
To avoid a superfluous question:
The BIOSses 1.6 and 1.7 have the same binary md5 hash value, means: Both FJ18 and both FK versions are identically. It makes no difference if you have 1.6 or 1.7.
1.0 is different!
