If the patch doesn't work for yours, then all you have to do is to open up arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c, and uncomment a #define as my previous email to the list. Upon boot up, you should see the BIOS version and date, and if it's not in the list then we can add it in easily. -- Ray Lee / Every truth has a context.
