Another problem is the confusion between: - "MacBook Pro 17-inch SMC Firmware Update" [1] and - "MacBook Pro (early 2006) Firmware Update 1.0.1" [2] The SMC upgrade is less than 1MB and only concern fans and some other things. SMC stands for System Management Control. It does not contain any BIOS and Boot Camp is not happy if you just install this upgrade. What you need is the firmware upgrade 1.0.1 (2.8 MB).The Apple site is not very clear on that. Boot Camp is not either since it request a firmware upgrade but does not give any URL or specific information about _which_ upgrade is needed. I hope this will help new users.
