[ltp] BIOS update for 600X that corrects IDE geometry problem

[Roger Barney]

>>A BIOS update for the 600X is now available on the IBM HelpCenter web
site.

>>This update corrects the problem of the BIOS reporting a cylinder count of
>>0 via its INT 41h disk table, which results in Linux failing to boot on
>>pre-2.2.14 kernels.

This did indeed correct the problem with unrecognized disk geometry, but now
my Win98 Restore CD fails to restore.  It chugs for 45 minutes before
popping up a message like 'Restore failed. Reboot and try again'...Any
insights?
