X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-maia at lichtfels.com X-Archives-Salt: c05b4e18-e210-406e-bb21-16e44962320b X-Archives-Hash: 98297539208f5c915112694a8b43bae6 Sorry for this off-topic ... a bit long also ... But I am trying hard to upgrade one of my boxes which contains an Intel DP43TF-board. I tried the latest bios-iso from Intel, it seems to be corrupt and does not boot. I tried some older bios-iso, it doesn't boot. I tried to build some Caldera boot-cd, it boots but doesn't show my added biosfiles :( I attached the CDROM via PATA and via external USB-adapter, no diff. I even burned the CD from Windows XP, in UltraISO there it says "non bootable" ... I tried CD-ROM and CD-RW. I tried an old hdd with the BIOSfiles on it, couldn't see the drive from within Caldera DOS (modern PATA-controller, I assume ....) This is a work in progress for days now *sigh* Right now I tried that Recovery BIOS Update, even that didn't work. The cdrom blinks, the hdd-led blinks, but not for 2-5 min as in the manual but much longer. I already wrote to Intel regarding that iso, no reply yet. I really would like to upgrade soon, as I face some strange hangups on that box, the current BIOS is rather old and there have been a few updates inbetween. Maybe someone here has done this successfully and has a working iso for me, I would really appreciate this. Sorry again for this non-gentoo posting ... Stefan
