Including VMP etc?
If so, go ahead. If not, backup with
awdflash /Pn /Sy backup.bin
and send backup.bin file to rainbow or me stating what board it is from and what harddisk you want support for. We may be able to patch it.

| The patched Bios should work - it's a newer version of your Bios

I did so and the upgrade runs well.
When i rebooted, i saw "Pentuim II CPU 467 MHz /133 MHz"
Indeed the CPU is 350 MHz and system Bus has 100 MHz on an 6151.
I treated this as a display error and countinued.
After sone minutes the system crashed/ hangs.
even when i boot a Knoppix-CD the system will hang at different times.
Could it really be that the board runs now with 133 MHz system clock?
my memory is just PC-100, but memtest gave me no errors.
And: I backed up my bios, but with an unstable system i could not risk to go back!
Any hints welcome
Robert, Germany
