Hello,

I have labs full of P330 with Bios' from 7/11/19, and when I try to use the USB or CDROM options to patch the bios the program errors after it does a FFS checksums "ok" with this message:

                """55 - Error: Error occurred while retrieving HII data.""""

Do you know why this is happening, do I need a different Bios to be applied first before applying the most recent one?

Example workstation info:

P330 Workstation 2nd Gen (ThinkStation) - Type 30D0 - *****

BIOS - https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkcentre_bios/m1vjt6fusa.zip

Thanks,

-Dean

What BIOS level is currently on your P330 system? This can be found under BIOS F1 setup -> Main menu screen. It should be something like M1VKTxxA, where 'xx' usually indicates the BIOS version. 

Have you tried other BIOS flash methods such as flash from USB? 

In the meantime, I'll try to set this up in the lab and see if I can flash BIOS up to the latest level "M1VKT6FA" using the CD ISO image version that you're using.  

Thanks for the reply, yes I have tried both USB and CDROM packages and they produce the same error message.  The message from googling makes me think it is UEFI related, but I am not sure.  I've tried resetting to optimized defaults in the bios, and I've tried multiple P330 systems but all result in the same outcome.  

The 7/11/19 bios that is installed is M1VKT45A

I just took a look at this in the lab and I'd like to confirm with you if this is the same error that you're getting on your side? 

Yes, that is the exact screen I see as well.  Do you know what the cause is?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure why we're getting that same error message.  However, I'm checking this with our internal BIOS team.  

Just following up to see if there is an update?

Thanks,

Please upgrade first to the previous version M1VKT6BA (28-Jun-2022)
