I believe there are no newer updates for this BIOS. I will try to test this with a Windows installation. Is it the case that this BIOS which clearly has some kind of an ACPI capability should be written off. How can I test the capabilities, or seek help in solving of the kinks or idiosyncrasies of this BIOS. Is Award/Phoenix represented on this forum? Do they support the work of making ACPI function on Linux? Thanks, --Chris
