Changing component to something more appropriate...

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-05-26 03:15:51 UTC

Are there any BIOS upgrades available for that machine?

Comment 3 Jon Wohlberg 2004-05-26 14:55:10 UTC

I tried to install with the bios that came with machine. When that 
didn't work I upgraded the bios to the latest version with the same 
results. As it stands the bios is at the latest version.
