[ltp] BIOS upgrade on TP600 incompatible with Linux

[David Josephsen]

thanks so much Heiko for your timely reply. 

as far as BIOS versions, i have pretty much tried 25 through 29 with no luck. But, I am indeed running a 2.2.12 kernel (redhat 6.1).  I'll compile a '14' kernel and see what happens.

Hi David,

this could be two entry points for solving your Problem :
1. Which Kernel / Distribution are you using ?
Kernel 2.2.13 and minor lack Support of this Disk. 
2.2.14 (??) should fix it, RedHat 6.2beta just goes fine.
2. BIOS Version
i do not exactly know which versions work and which not, but there are
some that do not work, especially the newer ones.
Maybe if oyu provide some more Information we can help you.

c u Heiko

DJ->Im having an issue related to the BIOS (i think) in that my TP600e does not recognize my drive geometry properly. It seems to think I have a 7gig drive where Windows Sees it correctly as a 9+ gig.  After reading the archives of this mailing lists as well as all the Linux on Laptops pages regarding the 600e I have upgraded the BIOS then downgraded it, then Upgraded it again. Im currently at rev 29 and stumped.  Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.
