Dear forum,
I have a Thinkpad T30 :
ThinkPad BIOS 1IET64WW (2.03b), EC unknown
thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: Outdated ThinkPad BIOS/EC firmware
thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: This firmware may be missing critical bug fixes and/or important features
So I decided to update the BIOS, but on the support/download page under:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-42694.html
I got the newest BIOS 2.10, but the description is saying, to just run it under Windows XP. I hate windows. sorry.
But under the alternate l link for the linux Disk under:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-45745
I got a download for a BIOS v2.02, which is older than I have already installed.
My questions are:
1) Why you have no executable for Linux ? and
2) Why is the BIOS version for linux disk so old and not the latest version like for Windows?
3) Can I run the latest BIOS with wine ? I'll propery will try it. At first I have to look into the old linux disk BIOS script, which prepare a disk for linux. I hope aI can adapt it with the latest BIOS version...
Every idea or help is welcome.
Sincerelly yours
Chris. H.
