I need update to B.11 for test secure boot stuff: SDV.TM.B11: Intel=C2=AE DQ57TM UEFI 2.3.1 Development Kit BIOS Release = (July 2012) <=3D=3D=3D newest version SDV.TM.B10: Intel=C2=AE DQ57TM UEFI 2.3.1 Development Kit BIOS Release = (May 2012) In BIOS menu and dmidecode show up the same version string: Handle 0x0004, DMI type 0, 24 bytes BIOS Information Vendor: Intel Corp. Version: Build SDV.TM.B11 Release (CSM Available) But, as your remind, this issue related to BIOS, I didn't see this prob= lem before update to B.11. Thanks a lot! Joey Lee
