Sorry for this off-topic ... a bit long also ... |

But I am trying hard to upgrade one of my boxes which contains an Intel |
| 4 |
DP43TF-board. |

|

I tried the latest bios-iso from Intel, it seems to be corrupt and does |
| 7 |
not boot. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I tried some older bios-iso, it doesn't boot. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I tried to build some Caldera boot-cd, it boots but doesn't show my |
| 12 |
added biosfiles :( |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I attached the CDROM via PATA and via external USB-adapter, no diff. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I even burned the CD from Windows XP, in UltraISO there it says "non |
| 17 |
bootable" ... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I tried CD-ROM and CD-RW. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I tried an old hdd with the BIOSfiles on it, couldn't see the drive from |
| 22 |
within Caldera DOS (modern PATA-controller, I assume ....) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This is a work in progress for days now *sigh* |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Right now I tried that Recovery BIOS Update, even that didn't work. The |
| 27 |
cdrom blinks, the hdd-led blinks, but not for 2-5 min as in the manual |
| 28 |
but much longer. |

I already wrote to Intel regarding that iso, no reply yet. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I really would like to upgrade soon, as I face some strange hangups on |
| 33 |
that box, the current BIOS is rather old and there have been a few |
| 34 |
updates inbetween. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Maybe someone here has done this successfully and has a working iso for |
| 37 |
me, I would really appreciate this. |

Sorry again for this non-gentoo posting ... |
