[ltp] R40 - not able to access bios (using "Access IBM" button)

[Robert Svoboda]

Hi to all,

I have got this problem: I installed linux on this machine,
everything was ok. After some time of using it and intalling
software I realised, that I can't access BIOS using "Access
IBM" button.

When there was only Windows on it, button workedxi. With linux
it also worked for some time. Then I installed tpctl and from
this time (roughly, could be coincidence) when I press the
button during start I obtain this message:

"authentication of system services failed"

and something about pressing Esc to continue, so I press Esc
and booting process continues.

I'm still able to access classic textmode bios by pressing F1
key, I can access boot menu pressing F12. And I can change
everything I want in Windows configuration utils...

Didn't call IBM support yet, first wanted to ask here...

Thank you for help
Robert
