Well, it's embarrassing to admit but I have never flashed a BIOS firmware since I am mortally scared of messing things and ending up with a $3000 expensive paperweight. :) Is BIOS firmware-flashing routine for you guys? Is it easy or error-prone. Are there any such "paperweight servers" lurking in your racks and server-rooms? Or is this a bugaboo of the ancient dark-ages? -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
