You can identify the name/model/version of any Intel motherboard follow= ing this procedure http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/identify.htm This motherboard is a discontinued product http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/pdal.htm But there are bios upgrades and some docs in this motherboard's page http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/L440GX/ This motherboard seems to not have a flash chip wich could be programme= d offline but it has a procedure to upgrade it again if everything fails described in "Intel(R) L440GX Server Board - Technical Product Specific= ation [254151-003.PDF]" next days I'm probably going to do a bios upgrade and I'll add a follow= up=20 in this thread Ulisses Debian GNU/Linux: a dream come true -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ------ "Computers are useless.
