Hmmm, I've "fixed" things as follows: yum remove firmware-tools yum install firmware-tools yum -y install $(bootstrap_firmware) update_firmware -y However, I no longer get BIOS version 1.2.4 installed - 1.1.5 seems to be the latest. Looking on the website, there seems to be a version 1.3.8 available for the R410 [1]. It certainly seems that a couple of later firmware versions have been released since 1.1.5 [2] Is the yum firmware repository not kept up-to-date? R.
