The BIOS is a socketed chip yes (a PLCC, don't know what type). I need a replacement chip first so I can back-up the original. > Please send the output of 'lspci -tvnn' and 'superiotool -dV' from > your board (run it as root).

Ok, I will do that. Please give me some time to install Linux on the system (running FreeNAS = FreeBSD 6.2 at the moment). Would it be possible to use a LiveCD as well, or should I just install a full distro? > Do you absolutely need the SCSI?

I would prefer IDE, but since the manual of the server says IDE harddisks are not supported... I don't know if that's a BIOS problem or a hardware problem. > Uwe.
