------- Comment #136 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-02-08 14:01 ------- It also fixed my X61. Updating was a real pain -- every attempt I made at using [FreeDOS or DOS 6.22] with [pxeboot+MEMDISK or USB flash drive] led to a successful boot but a system freeze during update. Johannes' suggested method (essentially the same but requiring Windows to create the boot disk) worked for some reason. Is it worth having the kernel check for these known-bad BIOS versions and printing a warning? Or maybe something handled by HAL similar to the battery info.is_recalled stuff? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
