OK > What about the reverse case?

I think i did that too. > If that's really what happens... then I am convinced once and for all > that the PT and PU really are distinct chips! Yes they are ;) the markings tells so. > I don't understand why it hangs... I guess this is an issue with your > chipset? Yes it might be a flaw in VT8237S. Those non-uniform flashes are not used in bioses anyway, so I would not make it a big deal.
